just replaced my Nest door bell (which had facial recognition) with a wyze doorbell v2. I, stupidly, made the assumption that “of course wyze must have some sort of facial recogniton”… but everything points to it only works on indoor cams?
yet, I see here some people have it working on doorbells?
what level of licensing do I need, and how do I turn it on?
Cam Plus will make it available. It’s currently $2.99/mo or $19.99/yr per camera:
Actually Cam Plus UNLIMITED will make this available (not regular cam plus):
Add the Doorbell to the Cam Plus Unlimited License and then you go into the doorbell settings, Event recording area, then customize detections and turn on Friendly Faces. The faces will be managed in the account tab under the section “Friendly Faces”
ok, I think I figured this out. it’s kind of paywalled for sure.
it’s CamPlus “Annual Unlimited Plan” ? if I get that then I can enable Facial Recognition? this project was ALMOST cheaper than Nest subscription. not any more.
I have now subscribed to Cam Plus Unlimited, all cams are on that plan now. I enabled Friendly Faces (after agreeing to terms). but camera still only shows Person at door. not Someone at door. I’ve tried to stand still, and close to it so it seems my face for sure. I can’t get it to say Someone so I can program a name. Doorbell v2. what am I doing wrong?
thanks!
I’m going crazy with this! I unchecked record and notify for “Person” under Customize Recordings (Friendly Faces is checked for both). still no faces yet! I stood in front of it, still, for about 10 seconds. any other advice?
attached. I had also purchased Cam Protect before I purchased Cam Plus Unlimited. I canceled Cam Protect since then, but maybe that’s interfering? I’m using Detection Zone because I have 2 large bush/trees that like to blow in the wind. hopefully you see something wrong. also, no SD card. (just trying to give all info)
hate to revive something that seemed like it was fixed… BUT, it only ever captured my face that ONE TIME. ugh. since I’ve tried other people in my house. nothing. something else is wrong with my settings I guess. do you need SD card?
