My V4 has gone nuts recording shadows and everything else. It is set for smart detections only. I got “Motion” events all night and this morning. Restarted the cam via the app, reset services and that made no difference. Toggled motion on and off, all motion to smart detection setting back and forth, still the same. Just power cycled the cam to see if it helps any? This has never happened before since I installed the cam in March 24.
I’ve noticed the same thing but I never complained about it. Once in a while it will start recording every motion that is there as if ignoring the smart events 
I turned on motion tagging and it is tagging everything that moves like shadows, trees flowers. Hope WYZE/AWS has a lot of servers because I’m going to fill at least one of them up. 
Yeah, I know, You’d think Wyze would stream line their upload to the cloud since they’ve been bleeding 
for a long time 
I haven’t looked at Events for several days. I don’t miss it that much. I may be falling out of love. 
Not much happens on a lily pad. 
I don’t have a v4, but my OGs got a firmware update the other day that messed with motion detection. Did the v4s happen to get one?
If not have you tried going into the settings for the cam and doing “reset services”. That claims to fix issues with smart detections etc.
If I remember correctly, you are on CamPlus Lite, so you have the five minute cooldown, hence not as many events.
Last V4 firmware was 11 July 2024.This recording everything started last night/
Did you try the service reset I mentioned?
Also make sure you have sound trigger turned off.
While troubleshooting this, turn on the “motion tagging” so you can see exactly where/what is triggering it.
I said in my original post that I did reset services, I also turned on motion tagging, it of course tags everything that moves like trees in the wind. It should tag things but it should not record it to the cloud when only Smart detection events are on and all other events off. I have never had sound events turned on. I have 5 V3 cams, one V3PRO and four WCO v1 and none of the are recording shadows or trees in the wind even though they are in the view of all cams.
I thought v4s don’t work with Cam Lite. I never used it on my v3s or v2s. 5-second cool down is fine either way.
It has been at 100% since the day it was installed on 3/29/2024.
I literally got on this forum right now to post THIS EXACT SAME behaviror. I did the same troubleshooting:
- Reset Services
- Power Cycle
- Toggle Motion Detection ON, then back to Smart Detections.
I haven’t deleted my camera and re-added yet. But the cameras are logging motion events and they shouldn’t log ANYTHING but Smart Detection events (people, pets, cars, packages).
@carverofchoice - You have 6,348 cameras. Are you seeing this?
And to clarify to anyone who doesn’t understand how this should work…If you have CAM PLUS, the camera should ONLY log Smart Detection events. You should never see Motion Events. All other models of cameras are behaving fine.
V1 PAN, V2, V3, V3 PAN, V3Pro, Battery Cam Pro are all doing this correctly. Doorbell V1 Pro, and Doorbell V2 are good as well.
My V4 is set for person, pet, vehicle, package and it has worked great until last night. Even the detection zone for my parked truck worked great 99% of the time.
I see the same behaviour on my v3s as well. Not all the time but once in a while it will upload a motion events as well. Not 100% sure but I think it is a bug on AWS servers.
I’m with you brother. I saw your original post and was delighted that someone else had this issue. I looked back in my logs and it looks like I started see all these motion events on 7/12/24… about 10 p.m (EST).
