A real alarm system grade Glass Breakage Detector listens for the sound of glass breakage like noises, and it also has a pressure sensor to detect a change in the rooms air pressure.
The noise alone will not trigger unless it coincides with the pressure change.
Of all of the feature requests on this forum, this one seems like it offers the greatest benefit for improving home security (and not merely convenience) while at the same time should be one of the easiest to implement.
Wyze already has an AI-based event detection framework that works on sounds. That was the hard part. This is just a new class of event.
Wyze, please prioritize this over the myriad of convenience features youāve been rolling out lately. Your priorities are misplaced. Home break-ins through windows are commonplace, and right now your customers are vulnerable.
I just updated to the latest firmware on my Cam V3 and Smart Hub, and was happy to see Audio Events in beta under Smart Events in the camera settings! Definitely a step in the right direction.
Unfortunately Wyze decided to prioritize barking and meowing events over glass breaking events. Go figure.
Just noticed this too in the sound events beta as an option.
Not available though on latest Wyze Pan or Wyze OG cameras, Hopefully will be added to these other cams as well!
Why is it that this feature request seems to be getting no attention from Wyze? Itās an actual security feature.
Instead, their focus seems to be on usability and lifestyle enhancements. Do any Wyze owners have a greater need to be informed of dog barking and cat meowing āeventsā than glass breakage? (Iām holding out hope that these beta events are just placeholders put in for testing the event detection functionality as a whole.)
I noticed that the Hlass Breaking (and Gun shot) sounds are available on SOME WYZE cameras (My Cam Pan v3 & Doorbell Pro can detect the sounds, but my Floodlight Pros still cannot detect Glass or Gunshots)ā¦
However none of these cameras currently have the ability to sound the alarm on my WYZE HOME Monitoring System.
What is the point of offering only recording & notifications without adding the last step of activating WYZE HMS?
Iād like the ability to create an automation that says āwhen Break Glass is detected, trigger HMS alarmā
Is this possible or can this be added to the WYZE HMS Automations?
See I told you I would come here and vote. And what I will do is I will see if I can get the status of this changed and see if we canāt maybe get it to a team member if we get a chance to talk to somebody and see if itās a possibility to get added to HMS :).
And looking at these dates I didnāt realize that this had been offered on the cameras before we even had the home monitoring service. Thatās the reason itās available but not part of HMS.
Great work on utilizing that search button! Sorry I couldnāt help you more the other day but Iāll do what I can to get some eyes on this
