Noise detection (bark, cry, etc)

1.) The existing Sound Detection feature is “ok” but only ok — 12 second recording with 5 minute cooldown (even with Cam Plus) — so, I know my dog barked for 12 seconds but what happened the next 4 minutes and 48 seconds, we’ll never know.

Please comment on and/or vote for this wishlist topic: Remove cooldown on sound events only. As a workaround, if you have an SD card installed in your cam with recording set to “Continuous”, while reviewing the sound event, tap the “Playback” icon and it will take you to the spot where the sound event starts.

2.) Cam Plus advertises recording of “Events” but never clearly defines “Events” — so I buy the camera and Cam Plus and expect that Sound Detection should trigger an “Event” and am dissatisfied when I realize that “Events” appear to only be “motion” — but wouldn’t a lay person (me) think “Dog barking his head off it an Event that should be recorded like any other Event”?

This feature is currently undergoing testing. If there is a sound event, but no AI type is detected, the event is generically labeled “Sound”. If the sound event is identified as Barking, Meowing, Crying or Talking, the event is labeled as such in the Events list in the Wyze app. However, the Event notifications are not yet labeled with sound AI type, they are generically labeled “Sound”.

To me you should first just make sound detection into an “Event” — I think that would satisfy some people on here like me — and then as second step on roadmap do the fancy cooler Sound Detection AI that tells if it’s a bark, baby cry, wind, window breaking, etc.

It is all currently undergoing testing. Sound AI types are currently, Crying, Meowing, Barking, Talking.
