Just got the new V4 camera (my first WYZE). I’m trying to set the detection zone to stop a flag on the porch from triggering alerts but it doesn’t seem to work. However I noticed now that I purchased the monthly AI service which allows notifications for different “events” rather than all of them the…

[image] PCHearn: Doesn’t your detection zone look at everything except the lid? I think the inverse. Maybe blacken the entire screen and then lighten the lid area.

The car is in your detection zone. The only thing excluded is the lid. Your DZ is working correctly. If you only want to look at the lid, you have it backwards. DZ on my v4 is working fine. It is more sensitive to headlights washing the area than the OG in the same spot was, but I recall a firm…

[image] tomkrameryin: It seems to always tag it as a vehicle or a person anyway. As I understand it, at least one of two things are happening: The AI isn’t completely accurate about what it detects, which is why Wyze prompts you to share videos to help improve their AI. When an event is tri…

AI needs work. Hopefully we will see improvements.

You can exclude everywhere the flag is able to go, it should still leave enough to catch someone’s legs as they walk up your steps etc. Might take a bit of trial and error. Keep in mind with DZ you don’t need to show the entire person/object, just need some sort of motion in the zone to trigger it…

[image] Crease: When an event is triggered, the AI analyzes everything in the image. Even if the inciting motion wasn’t caused by a vehicle (for instance), if the AI detects a vehicle in the whole image (irrespective of the Detection Zone), then the event will get that tag. Thanks for that in…

Thank you Dave. Still futzing with it. It’s getting better.

[image] tomkrameryin: if the AI detects any movement Minor correction: any movement within the detection zone

All my other camera detection zones are like this. To test, I inverted the detection zone and still got notifications of movement outside the detection zone.

[image] habib: How did you menage that? Didn’t see your post. I am old and forgetful but remember a few months ago mentioning one of my cams had detection issues. Someone from Wyze told me to send them the MAC address of the cam and they would push new firmware to it. It corrected the issue. …

Are you sure it was a Cam v4 and not a Cam OG? They were doing that for a while to test an interim firmware after an official release broke detection zones on that model.
