What events are missed

Can anyone tell me why the V4 fails to record this event and the V3 does. This buck sauntered down the front sidewalk and the V4 camera did not record an event. The video is from the SD card on the V4 that records continuously.

I have cam plus on this camera, so?

I have that happen a few times a week. I live at the end of a dead end street with a
cul- de -sac. A lot of vehicles come down to turn around. I have a V4 outdoors facing the street and a V3 indoors looking out a window at almost the same view. Sometimes usually at night the V4 will not upload a cloud video but the V3 will. Both cams cloud recorded all the vehicles that came by last night and early this morning. Maybe it’s a cloud upload issue? Both cams are also set for continuous. The :deer: belongs in a cast iron frying pan. :yum:

That is the same with mine, they both face the same way.

“The :deer: belongs in a cast iron frying pan. :yum:” I think he knows he is safe in town :wink:

I don’t have an v4 cameras, but all of my v3 cameras seem very reliable at detecting motion (sensitivity set to 90) and upload to the cloud. This video is about a year old and the deer is almost out of view to my v3.

The issue is not constant for me. As I said it may happen once or twice a week then it will go months before it happens again. The Great WYZE Unknown. :laughing:

Definitely either a cloud or internet issue. Maybe the v4 event was to big to get uploaded :man_shrugging:

I only have v3 cameras. All are on firmware 4.36.13.0416 and all of my devices are still on App version 2.50.

Everything is working for me as it should and I am loving my Wyze setup right now. Yes, I have had jittery video and SD card not found in the past but no complaints as of now.

My feeling is it you have v3 cameras in your mix, that should be a plus.

Asking for clarification, did the v4 not even try to upload a Cloud video or did you see an Event video in Events that would not play?

In my case it never shows up as an event. The only reason I know it happened is the V3 recorded the event. The event is on the V4 SD recording.

You said you have cam plus, do you have “other motion” enabled or only the “smart” detections? It won’t necessarily recognize a deer as a “pet”. That distance is also a bit far so you may need to crank up the sensitivity a bit (though I’ve found my v4 to be more sensitive than my OG).

What is your v4 Sensitivity set at?

All 13 of my cams are set at 100, smart detections only.

Highly reliant on lighting and the shape of the object, I don’t think we can really expect “AI” (I use that term loosely) to be perfect especially at a distance. Headlights especially seem to be an issue with the pattern recognition.

Yes, same here, it does not even see the buck as movement? It records shadows on the ground in daylight when the wind blows, and it sees the flowers moving in the wind as an event, but the deer it was blind to.

Weird?

If using AI/smart detections, if you have “other motion” disabled, it will not detect anything it does not “recognize”.

Sensitivity is at 50. It will see someone walking in the road as an event under the same lighting, so why it did not see that deer is a mystery. You can see in the video from the SD card the lighting is good, and he walked by across the field of view, he was not being sneaky :wink:

No, it is set to record motion events.

But under that is “other motion” checked off?

On the V4 it is all or smart.

Nothing under customize (either there or in notifications)? I don’t have cam plus but on my v4 under customize I have “other motion” and “other sound” just like on my other cams.
