Person Detection Update: A New Experiment for Premium Features

[sodcam]

@mikepervere

coming up with what I’ll loosely call “bug mode”. I for one am capturing HOURS a day of video clips of nothing but split-second bugs

@HareRaiser @DP1947 @whizzysyr @dsjenson @WiseJob @PolarBear @victormaletic

Having finally come to near the end of Japanese Beetle season, and Carpenter Bee season before that, I know exactly how all of you feel!

Probably many of you have already done so, but if not, please vote on this Wishlist item below!

Is there any news on the “Bug Mode” ( split-second event filtering) front @UserCustomerGwen ? The last update we had was December 2019?

I believe that Bug Mode would be a Win-Win for everyone:

1. Bug Mode seems simple (at least when compared to person, pet and vehicle detection)

2. Bug Mode would save Wyze considerable AWS processing money when run before the full person detection analysis (and bandwidth if implemented on camera)

3. Bug Mode would make a lot of customers happy (the family would allow me to buy more Wyze cams if there were fewer false alerts)

4. build brand loyalty by responding to long standing request (hopefully the underlying intent behind a forum with a Wishlist area)

5. make Wyze more competitive in the marketplace (other brands already offer this feature)

MANY THANKS!!

Ignore Motion Detection for events under X seconds

I have this feature on my Dlink cameras, and its very helpful at night, when bugs / rain / snow fly past the view outdoors. Its a simple check box that notes that it wont send alerts for detection lasting less than 1s. figured it would be pretty simple to implement and would save us outward looking users lots of non-events.
