I was very excited when I noticed the improved motion detection settings that allowed more precise control over the detection zone. My cameras overlook a walkway to my house and the driveway - both have a view of the street. With the old way of choosing one boxed area to monitor, I didn’t get many …

Do a forum search and I think you’ll find several posts about this. Some have indicated that their setups only detect items outside the selected detection zones and others have said that the detection zones don’t work at all. There are also posts saying how wonderful the new settings are.

Settings are nice, but the detection sucks more than Dyson vacuum. Unfortunately my search has been fruitless in finding an answer.

Here are a couple: [image] Alert algorithm missing obvious events and triggering on shadows Cameras I got a Wyze Pan Tilt camera about ten days ago and am bewildered by the CAMPlus software. I have the camera looking out a window onto my driveway and set the detection zo…

I appreciate that, but it all depends on what the search term used is to generate the wanted results to my issue. I used “motion detection” and it pulled up a ton of irrelevant information to my issue. Any who. I’ve tried the suggestions mentioned. Dropping sensitivity also kills the alerts I do wa…

Totally understand. Much about Wyze products can be frustrating. Motion detection, dying sensors…the list goes on and on. Just look at all the issues with the thermometer and vacuum. The products are inexpensive, but they don’t always work as well as one might like or expect.

Have you tried the Wyze Robot Vacuum? It’s apparently mega-pascal suck.

Is the camera a V2 model? Mounted outdoors, or pointing out a window? Do you find more false alarms after dark, due to vehicle headlights? I have at least 1 of each Wyze model. Enabling motion tagging can be helpful when troubleshooting. An Outdoor model might be better suited to your application b…

I totally agree. The sensitivity slider makes no difference if it is set on 1 or 100, totally useless. Same exact problem on the Sound settings. I’m convinced the sensitivity sliders do not work.

The funny thing is that it was working respectably well for it’s price before they updated the firmware with the detection zone changes. It’s not hardware, it’s software and it should be relatively easy to fix. I don’t think it’s the sensitivity, its the detection area that’s applied that’s not work…

Yes, the v2 and the Pan actually. One looks over my driveway, the other over my walkway to the house. I’ll post a video of the detection zone and a video with motion tracking . Today’s a bit windy so it may not be a accurate gauge of the issue.
