Floodlight and Camera Constantly Re-Triggering When Using SMART Detection

However, with the default detection sensitivity at ~70 the floodlight and camera continuously re-trigger after a Smart Detection event when there is ANY motion and a PARKED vehicle in the frame.

Your sensitivity is too high. And you are correct, lowering the sensitivity reduces its effectiveness.

I had the same experience but I was only activating the lights on Person Detection. The floodlights were constantly activating with no person in the FOV but was only uploading a motion video. The Server AI was not tagging it Person because it saw no person in the uploaded video.

I contacted Customer Support and they recommended starting with a sensitivity of 40 and making very slight adjustments, one point at a time, until the sweet spot was reached. I am now at 42.

This issue has been reported to the Wyze Team for improvement in the future. IMO, if the floodlight is activated for an onboard AI Person Event, there better be a Person tagged Event Upload so that I am able to submit it to Wyze for onboard AI retraining updates. There is no reason that the sensitivity should be below half it’s capability for the AI to work marginally.

I am going to continue to track progress in future WFLP updates with the hopes that the balance between effectiveness and sensitivity improves.

The Wyze Project Manager for the WFLP did indicate during an AMA event that the WFLP has enhanced onboard AI that should only trigger on moving AI objects, not stationary ones:

Does the AI Vision Vehicle detection turn on the floodlight for every single motion event if there is a parked vehicle in view of the camera, and if so, will that ever be updated to ignore parked/stationary cars since Wyze is already working on having the Cam Plus AI learn to only report moving objects?

We actually added more logic to the AI computer vision algorithm to address your concern about Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro. Only moving AI objects will trigger motion detection. If there is a parked vehicle and no other moving AI objects are detected in the frame, the camera will not treat it as motion so you will not be notified. However, if there is a person walking in the frame plus there is a vehicle parked in view, the Motion Event will tag both the person and the vehicle. The notification will say that a person and vehicle have been detected by your camera. In short, the AI model on Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro only reports moving AI objects. But it will include static AI objects if motion is triggered by other AI objects in the frame. -u/HongfeiN
