Background/Ignore settings for Smart detection

It sounds like you have the Detection Zone dialed in pretty tight.

What I had to do, once I had my DZ where I wanted it was:

  1. Since Motion Tracking (green box) isn’t available on the DBC (Wishlist topic here: Wyze Doorbell Motion Tagging) I watched every repeated, mistagged, or errant video to see what, within the detection zone, was motion triggering the cam in the first place.

  2. If I saw a specific area that was constantly moving from the edges (bushes,grass etc.) I added it to the exclusion zone.

  3. Then I started dialing back the Detection Sensitivity by 5% each time until it quieted down. Once there, I went back up 1% at a time until I got a bad AI tag within my excluded area. Then back down 1% at a time until it stopped. That is where I am now and it rarely throws an errant AI tag unless the weather is particularly nasty.

A PIA for sure, and it took like a week, but it did eventually quiet down.

This would be a really nice option to have in the settings:

:negative_squared_cross_mark: Smart AI Detection ONLY in Detection Zone
:white_large_square: Smart AI Detection FULL frame

Perhaps an additional Wishlist item.
