That is due to how the AI currently works. If motion is detected then the entire video is checked to see what is in it. If there is a vehicle it will say it saw a vehicle. Currently, the only way around this is to turn off detections for vehicle notifications.

Piffle. Either Wyze has AI capabilities or it doesnât and, clearly, it doesnât. If dogs are smart enough not to chase parked cars, your technology should be able â given the proven capabilities of AI to identify visual information â to tell the difference between a person walking by and an immobile object. The suggestion to turn off vehicle notifications is, essentially, an admission that Wyze canât separate moving and static objects⌠and seems to have no intention to be able to.
We have been honest that the way it is right now it canât differentiate between stationary and moving, it can only tell what is there.
We want to be able to do this and are actually working on it, we just arenât there yet.

Iâve turned off vehicle detection on my Wyze Doorbell V1 with Cam+ and still get vehicle notifications from that camera for parked and moving vehicles no matter what AI event (vehicle, person, petâŚ) triggers the notification. The event detection toggles are not working for me.
I also canât turn notifications on or off for specific AI triggers on my Doorbell V1 with Cam+ because the AI event notification selection only shows a single toggle and itâs all or nothing.
I just typed the below for somebody else related to the V1/V2 Battery cameras. I think you just confirmed it for me for the V1 Doorbell. lol
Outdoor V1/V2 battery cams are still on the older user interface for the Event Recording section. Around 1.5 years ago or so Wyze changed the behavior of the âDetects Motionâ slider on the older âEvent Recordingâ user interface. It used to be that IF that slider was OFF but Smart Detections where selected, only the Smart Detections came through. Yeah, the slider didnât really work like it indicated but it was GOOD in how it worked! LOL! Well, I think it was an app update back then, but that slider changed behavior and became a âno jokeâ Detects Motion slider. If that slider was set to OFF, no motion period would be recorded. So, the only way to start getting your Smart Detections again was to turn the slider ON. If then set to ON, you got not only the Smart Detections you had selected but also ALL motion, even shadows and tree limbs and cars. I asked repeatedly back then for them to put the slider back to the âoldâ behavior and make it again detect motion for smart events only even when the slider was OFF but they never did, sadly.
So, all cameras that continue to use the older user interface will behave with the new methodology where that slider will turn off ALL motion detections and turning it on turns on what you have selected for smart events as well as generic motion⌠with no way to turn off generic motion. The initial launch of the Battery Cam Pro even had this same old user interface with the same behavior! But, on that one, they updated the User Interface to the newer style within a couple firmware updates. 
I know the V1/V2 Battery cameras have never been updated and the V1 Pan and V1 Doorbell may be in the same boat but I canât check those right now so not sure about those.

Wouldnât it be more logical to program the Ai to compare prior images to current images of detected objects and only notify on a ânew detected object not previously notified onâ
Having a Camera on my driveway constantly alert to a Vehicle being detected because there is wind blowing a tree branch causing a shadow on the ground 10 feet away from the vehicle is counter-intuitive to the entire reason of utilizing âvehicle detectionâ I donât care what vehicle is there, I only care if a new vehicle is suddenly in my driveway.

Youâre asking for something far too reasonable (and, clearly, beyond the skills of Wyze programmers). This has been an issue for years.
Windy days blowing the branches of trees and casting moving shadows on the ground? Vehicle. A light goes on next door and illuminates cars in the driveway? Vehicle. Person walks by parked cars in the street? Vehicle.
Wyze reminds me of the dog that chased parked cars but, in Wyzeâs case, it canât detect âPet.â Just âVehicle.â

What amazes me is that in 33 months, only 70 people have upvoted this requestâŚ
I can only guess that in Kirkland, Washington they donât have a lot of what we out here in the perimeter call âparking lotsââŚ

Voted. Somehow I missed this back in 2021.

Please implement this. My events are 90% parked cars.

Itâs a failure by Wyze that their AI will constantly tag a motion events as a parked vehicle, when it was a large pet that initiated the event recording yet the pet wasnât tagged. But even more of a failure that more people havenât voted on this.

This has been a topic of concern for many of us for more than a year, and weâve been vocal about it. Yet Wyzeâs AI, to be honest, is merely artificial and not very intelligent.

Welcome to the forum?
Sounds like a great idea.
I donât subscribe but I do wonder if the have a "friendly animalâ alert.
Absolutely not! We donât need more tags, when what they already have are misidentified frequently.

Iâd be happier if I didnât get 50 notifications a day about my car, that hasnât moved for over a month. Because wind blew a leaf somewhere in the camera frame.

How is this still not implemented? For a âsecurityâ company, have you not heard of alarm fatigue?
Let me solve this for you. Every 30 frames, did this blob approximately move? If yes, send notification.

Stop flagging my parked car in my driveway
Only flag vehicles that are moving. Every day I have tons of videos of my parked vehicle in my driveway. I only care about moving vehicles. This should be a simple thing for WYZE to implement. Now the Smart Detection is nearly useless and terribly frustrating! WYZE competitors already can do this!

And the shadows of moving tree branches identified as people and calling squirrels and raccoons and opossums âpets,â instead of animals (all pets are animals but most animals arenât pets) and citing lighting chances as motion.
If thereâs artificial intelligence involved in these notifications, it is indeed artificial.
