Doorbell Survey - 4/1/2025

This for sure, and I didn’t think to mention that when I completed the survey, but I would’ve mentioned that if it had occurred to me.

One thing I did mention regarding my frustrations is really a human behavior problem and not a shortcoming of video doorbell design: delivery drivers who don’t ring the doorbell despite being given specific instructions to do so. Even though this isn’t a doorbell problem, I think it could have a technological solution, but I believe part of the solution would involve implementing one of my Wishlist requests (and may require new hardware if it needs to close a physical switch). Often when a delivery driver stops in front of the house and starts toward the door, other cameras will tag the event with “Person”, “Package”, and “Vehicle”. If a camera (specifically, a doorbell camera) can capture enough of an image that the AI is able to detect both “Person” and “Package” in the same event, then I’d like to have an option (a toggle in the app) to have that combination automatically trigger a doorbell ring event even without a physical button press. I’m not aware of anyone else doing this sort of thing, so I think it could be a distinctive feature for Wyze and something that others might use.

I’m aware that some of this might be possible when Wi-Fi Chime becomes more widely available, but I think doing it that way would also require additions to Automations by giving the user some control of the detection logic (let the user specify that IF Person AND Package are detected then DO…). Wyze should probably allow that, too. :wink:
