Video Doorbell Almost Useless

After several months I have come to the conclusion that the video doorbell is almost useless. Mine is mounted in an alcove and keeps sending out alert notification to the tune of 20-30 per day or more. The detection has been decreased time and time again with no relief. Even with it down to 15% and the detection zone set to include only the alcove area is still goes off constantly but when viewing the alert footage there is nothing there. I also have a v1 camera in the alcove that has been there since before the doorbell was installed and it only goes off when someone is actually there or a bug crawls across the lens.
I’ll be replacing it shortly.

Sorry your having issues with the video doorbell.

Can you clarify if it’s a video doorbell pro (battery optional) or non pro (small, white, square button and lense)

Can you enable motion tagging and see what’s causing the alert? Send a video?

Neither of your questions are pertinent. It doesn’t matter what’s triggering it. It sends notifications constantly all day and reviewing the footage shows nothing moving in the frame of view.

I can’t help troubleshoot any further if I don’t know what model devices it is (as they function very differently).

They are so that it can be determined what your camera initial detection system is, weither it’s a pixel detection or pir detection. I am assuming you have the wired VDB, which is pixel detection. In you events. Is there any pixel change at all? Lighting, color, shadows etc? Able to post a video or few of your problem events?
