I have been an owner of the Pan Cam v2 for some time and have been using it outside and figured out the detection zones. So when I just purchased 2 new (non pan) V3 cameras. I mounted one of them in the front of my house under the eve to replace my pan cam. I love the view and the quality of the…

Well good luck with the detection zone, I’ve never found a way for it to work correctly on my V3. I still get alerts for things in the areas of the darkened grid. I finally just set notifications for person and package on and everything else off. I left vehicle detection on for a day or two but ever…

[image] greglj: However, at night every time a car goes by the camera sense the lights of the car Can you make the exclusion zone a little bit bigger? To block out where the light flicker can be seen? Lower the sensitivity is another idea, use the camplus ai tagging to weed out stuff, or rep…

I have the exclusion zone completely darkened out on that side where the hwy is. How low should I set it I have put it all the way down to like 25 before. How do you do this. “use the camplus ai tagging to weed out stuff” I cant move my camera to the corner nearest the driveway and look back to …

If this doesnt work correctly I dont plan on keeping the additional cam plus i got 14 days free with it. I want more than just package and person. I want to know if someone walks thru my driveway or if something pulls up thru the driveway also. And frankly light flickering shouldnt set it off and…

[image] greglj: And frankly light flickering shouldnt set it off and if that is the way is suppose to work then these are junk. The detection system in the cameras is a “pixel change” system, as apposed to the WCO which has a PIR motion detection system. The “pan v2” was just released, do yo…

Thanks for everyone’s input With detection zone off how does it work Please excuse typos Email Sent from my iPhone

It should just use the full screen/camera view. [image] Detection Settings and Zones Detection Settings and Zones allow you control when, where, and how motion is detected. Only want to detect motion at your front door, driveway, or that small area around the cookie jar? This is th... …

If I disable the detection zone then it will for sure pick up car going down the hwy That is why I created the zone to block that area out Please excuse typos Email Sent from my iPhone

Yep. In your use case I’d say be generous with the exclusion areas near the highway, blocking out areas where the lights would flicker, then lowering your sensitivity settings to find a sweet spot. Another choice is to use a pir detection system instead of the cameras with the pixel change system.…

I might have missed this in the thread, but as @Omgitstony indicated, since you are using AI you should turn off All Motion for detect / Notificaitons. Here are my settings and it does not notify me of light flickering, but does record it to the events, which is ok for me. Make sure Detects Motion…
