I know that Wyze uses software to detect the motion instead of the real-motion sensor.

Can it detect that if the changing of the light does not count as a motion alert?

For example, I put my Wyzecam in the garage. Most of the time nothing will move except the car moves? However, it has a window and the shadow is changing most of all the time during the day. Wyzecam thought this supposed to be a motion alert and keep sending me the notification.

I’ve added this to Wyze’s feature request tracker. In the mean time, have you tried turning down the sensitivity settings to see if that helps avoid the false alerts?
