No. “Motion Triggered an Upload Video, Here are the AI Tagged Objects that were found in the FOV” would be more accurate.
Motion determines the trigger for an upload. It has no bearing whatsoever on the returned AI Tags for the majority of Wyze cams and definately the Cam V3. The AI does not discriminate between moving or stationary objects. Once the upload begins and the AI Bot receives it on the server for interrogation, motion is no longer a measured variable. The cam then decides when to stop sending that video based on no more motion within the frame dependent on your sensitivity settings.
The Wyze Server AI Algorithm has been a topic for much discussion. It would certainly be great if we were able to select a setting for AI Tagging of moving objects only. But we don’t have that option yet. It has been requested many times over in the Wishlist topic Objects in motion (not stationary) notifications only.
Wyze is working toward this. They have something like this on the Floodlight Pro that will only return an AI Tag for a stationary AI object if another AI object was in motion. If a non-AI object was in motion, the stationary AI object wouldn’t be tagged. But, the Floodlight Pro has the memory onboard and the processor chip capable of doing this on the cam. The Cam V3 does not. It isn’t capable of running the logic locally.
All I can do with my 16 V3 cams is to tune them the best I can to work for me.
- Use Detection Zones to block out my parked vehicle on one cam so it detects Vehicles entering only
- Turn off Vehicle Detection and go full frame on the second cam so that it detects Person around my vehicle or approaching
- Turn off the cam face LED IR Lights so bugs won’t be spotlighted at night and install IR Floodlights illuminating the FOV from a different angle
- Keep the sensitivity moderate so that it isn’t blasting uploads 24\7 every time an ant moves.
It doesn’t work that way. The cat can’t be gone before the event triggers if it is what triggered the motion event upload.
If a cat triggers motion, the upload starts. If the Cat, the Car, a Person, and a Package are all within the included Detection Zone and you have detection turned on for these, all should be tagged in the Event Video regardless of motion at the time of AI tagging on the server and regardless of what motion pulled the trigger on the upload… provided the cam has a reasonable FOV. This is the absolute most important factor in getting good AI Tagging results. Location, location, location. These cams are not shoot from any angle in any light cams. The sweet spot is eye level with traffic crossing the FOV. Placing the cam so that it can be the most effective is critical. Distance from the cam is also important.
