Friendly Faces Question

That’s fair and accurate.

Thanks. I try!

A google AI response actually said that was the case when I asked, but it also said the opposite as well.

AI being imperfect and contradicting itself? Imagine!

Wyze’s AI has its issues, as well, which you’ll find if you read about their new Descriptive Alerts^[1][2][3]

@patrick.scottc

And that’s how I ended up on these forums haha.

You’ll find contradiction here, too, but I think we mostly try to be helpful and provide good information.

The Pan Cam v3 though… I’m shocked so many people seem to love this camera, my experience has been rough.

My first Wyze devices were original Plugs. My first Wyze camera was the Cam Pan v3 that I got a couple of years ago, and I still like it. (There were some hiccups in the beginning with Wi-Fi connectivity, but they eventually sorted those out with firmware updates.) A second Cam Pan v3 has been a little less reliable, and I still need to do some troubleshooting on a microSD card issue with that one. I still like it and my other Wyze Cam models, though, and I also use some non-Wyze cameras.

Now I guess I need to set aside some time to play with Friendly Faces. I’ve been thinking about it but just haven’t done it yet.

3. Wyze Cam Unlimited Pro - Issues and experience so far

   I wanted to create a post to detail a few things I’ve found while using the new service in hopes to hear what others are seeing. Notifications vs. Descriptive Alerts. This confused me at first. If you turn on Descriptive Alerts for a Camera or Doorbell, it replaces the default notifications you used to get when “person detected” occurred at your doorbell. It adds emoji’s and some “opinions” of what is sees in the notification header and description. Calling my cat loud and describing my gara…
