Ugh! AD! Make it stop! 😬

More Ughs: I get a banner saying something like ā€œsee what’s new and updatedā€ with a ā€œ1ā€ badge - but there’s never anything in there, so I just swipe left and dismiss it.

And another: I get a message saying ā€œComplete Motion Detectedā€ on my one outdoor cam. What is Complete Motion? Is there such a thing as incomplete motion?!

Sometimes I get Person Detected - that makes sense.

Someone needs to fix the alert messages.

Actually, yes: Those who use some of the older doorbells, or who have Cam Plus Lite, get incomplete events with motion. It will only record for 12 seconds of motion once every 5 minutes at the most. So it is common for people to have motion events where the recording does not capture the complete motion motion and only records a small part of the event. However, if those people who get Cloud events upgrade to Cam Plus, then they can have the complete motion event recorded instead of the incomplete recording of that same motion event like they get now.

The term ā€œCompleteā€ in notifications was overlooked when transitioning legacy service name ā€œComplete Motion Capture (CMC)ā€ to ā€œCam Plusā€. It’s on the Wyze radar and should be going away soon.

I’d have chosen better wording, but what do I know? I don’t have a doorbell (the shape of my house won’t work with one), and I have Cam Plus.

Oh well

Excellent! That makes sense now.

Honestly we should change it to Motion Detected.

Let me see what I can do

That would work, too!

That would make sense.

But I’ve been around too long and certain behavior seems much more deliberate than incidental or unintentional. So I consider the wording to be semi subtle type marketing attempt where wyze is hammering us that moniker reminding us that wyze does have in fact complete motion recording ability but as you are aware these clips will only show 12 sec every 5 min, of that motion so you really should be buying our service.

Not really. ā€œComplete Motion Detectedā€ is being displayed on notifications across the board regardless of event length and regardless of service type or no subscription service. The title ā€œComplete Motion Detectedā€ is currently used to describe a motion-triggered event that includes no AI object. The word ā€œCompleteā€ is extraneous. The title simply means that ā€œotherā€ motion was detected. Ref: "Complete Motion Detected" notification - #3 by Seapup

Interestingly, in the last day or two, I just started seeing Complete Motion notifications on my OG camera. It’s very frustrating, because I have it set to notify me only when a person is detected. :grimacing:

But now, in the middle of the night if there’s any motion outside, it wakes me up with an alert that just says Complete Motion detected. I have the settings set to NOTIFY me only when a person is detected but I do have it set to RECOGNIZE person, pet, vehicle, and package.

I need to figure this one out. Once I wake up I’m finding it pretty tough to get back to sleep, wondering what set off the camera.

I just discovered the new Reset Services button for all the cameras. Maybe that will fix it. :crossed_fingers:t3:

I think you missed my point. I know what you are saying and I know it did not actually capture what it says - complete. Plus all those pics of AI event selectors don’t relate to those without camplus. I’m saying it’s a sort of a marketing moniker that wyze deliberately is using to remind us of what we are missing. A sort of subliminal message so users say ā€œgeeesh there is complete motion I’m missing with just 12 sec, wow, I need to subscribe!ā€ Alternatively for those who do subscribe, it’s validation that you’ve not missed out and you got the complete motion recorded as you desire. So it’s a win-win moniker that the wyze marketing geniuses determined will be an effective arrow in their advertising quiver at no additional cost to them. Anything they can reinforce in the or by the app is essentially free advertising.

That was very true. :+1: But it’s evolved and I think forgotten by Wyze. We now have overt popup ads to remind us of what we might be missing without a subscription. And sometime even with a subscription.
