Pet detection seems to be getting worse. That’s the main reason I have these cameras and it’s not very good. I have clicked the help AI and clicked pet hundreds of times but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better and might even be worse than it used to be.
Wyze AI is hit and miss, some days good others not so much.
They’re probably trying updates
Yeah, I think the accuracy fluctuates. A few months ago, I (and several other Forum users) was getting gunshot notifications from my Video Doorbell v2 for no apparent reason, and I recall reading that Wyze does periodic (monthly?) AI updates that sometimes seem to scramble the virtual .
I think over time the trend is generally toward improvement, but these hiccups along the way are still frustrating, especially when detections and notifications aren’t what a user might expect (too many, too few, wrong classifications, etc.).
Squirrels run by right in front of my camera and it rarely ever tags them. Not that I really want to see all the squirrels, but then it makes me wonder what else it’s missing that might be a little further away. So I end up having to look through all the motion tags which are hundreds of shadows, trees waving and bugs flying around. It would be hard to complain if it was free but we’re paying for this now.
It will tag some but not others. I have five cameras around my cabin. For adult geese and 10 babies walked all around my cabin and they only got tagged about a quarter of the time.
I have squirrels and have never had any tagged as pets. Actually, I have never had anything smaller than a cat tagged as a pet. Plenty of birds flying around also and never tagged. Must be size measurement in the AI algorithm for pets.
