Detection Zone on V4

@TomG

Going through old messages I can’t find it. I’m not THAT far gone to imagine it. I hope.

You made me chuckle Don’t worry no need to go out of your way. The above explanation is enough to satisfy my curiosity

I did get a special firmware for one of my v4s that corrected this issue for that camera.

@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.
I have no idea which cam it was.

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.

That was the OG cams, a bunch of us got that update due to detection zone starting to get ignored (toggling it off and on would fix it for a while) by providing our MAC address. It is now the current public version so everyone has that firmware.

There isn’t anything like that for the v4 that I know of and DZ is working fine for me.

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.

All your cameras are backwards then

Greyed out = ignore/exclude this block. Normal image = detect in this block.

You sure you don’t have sound detections on or something else that could be causing the detection? While sometimes things close to the edge of the detection zone can cause false triggers, if you’ve inverted that detection zone now, the car should definitely not be triggering motion detections.

Here is a clip showing everything is greyed out. Then I select the detection zone, which changes from greyed out to clear. Then I select ‘clear’ which changes everything back to grey meaning nothing will be detected.

With this detection zone, traffic outside the detection zone is detected.

When the detection zone is cleared, or when the detection zone is disabled, it means any motion on the frame is detected, iow, the whole frame is the detection zone.

[dave27]

You have to set your detection zone and then save it before it takes effect. As @p2788deal says, if you clear the zone or disable it, it is no longer active and everything will be detected.

I have my driveway detection zone set to block my truck so I don’'t get vehicle events for my parked truck. It works great. If there are other vehicles parked I block them also.
