A further reading of the link in my recent post describes that it worked very well. It is working well to this day. I do not have a WCO.
This theory from another thead could explain why the flag is causing do many events.

You guys must have an inside joke of some sort? In any case, Iām pleased to report that I found a decent place to mount my outdoor cam. Iām going to attach a video. Even though you see the flag whipping, it doesnāt trigger a notification. I have both detection distance and image sensitivity set to 100%.
The thing that amazes me is if I walk out my front door (located on the small step on the other side of my truck), it also doesnāt trigger a notification. Weāre about to get some major T-storms with crazy winds so I brought my flag inside. Even with that being the case, when I walk out my front door, no notifications. I have to walk in front of my truck and practically directly in front of the camera before it will capture motion and send a notification.
Different problem thatās likely discussed in a different thread?
It appears that before you reach the front of your Ford P/U you are walking nearly straight at the camera which will not trigger the PIR as I understand it.
To be honest, I really donāt care much if it doesnāt catch people coming out of the house. I have indoor cams that will capture that motion anyway. Iāve done a bit more testing and it is working okay.
I was reading one of the other threads and it looks like there is some beta firmware available to try. Maybe Iāll give that a shot, but right now Iām thinking Iāll just wait for WYZE to come out with a fully tested and approved version.
Iām guessing weāll see something released by the end of the month if not earlier.
Big_monkey is correct.
The PIR sensors work best if they are placed at right-angles to the kinds of motion you want to detect.
