I would like to see multiple Detection Zones that are time based.
For example: detection zone 1 could be active for a period of time I choose and detection zone 2 could be active for the remainder of the time.
My use case is this: I have a camera set up to monitor a humming bird feeder, but it also happens to have a great view of my front yard and part of my driveway. I would like to have a very narrow detection zone during the day so it only picks up the hummingbirds (which I currently use), but a larger detection zone at night to see any people/animals that enter my yard.
Itās been a couple years now but I think I made a similar wish list topic a couple years ago. So far nothing and when I met with a couple people to the company I didnāt think to bring this one up. Maybe one day I can get it bumped up there. I can think of quite a few things this would be handy for beyond what you just mentioned and what I would use it for. :). It would be wonderful
Iāll see if I can find it and post it here so you can throw your boat on it. I could have swore I made a wish list topic for it now but considering the many changes weāve gone through and the years since, thereās a chance it got merged with something else or changed completely for one reason or another. Thatās happened to a few things but itās always been for the better and it was always with permission of the original poster.
Another use for time based detection zones: At night I would use a smaller detection zone staying farther away from the road to avoid detecting light and shadows from passing cars.
Exactly one of the uses I would use it for as well. And I was the person that made this post many moon ago :-).
Itās something I would love to try to revive with some contacts I have at the company. But I know they are working on many good things. Stay optimistic
My experience with this company has been entirely different. Iāve watched as they openly ignore consumerās requests for basic software issues. They seem to only be concerned with growing their product line rather than supporting the one theyāve already created. This is clear with the numerous security flaws theyāve ignored and tech outlets that have withdrawn recommendations for ALL of their products because of it.
I would argue differently, only because I have been on these forums for many many years now and have seen the company actively resolved so many issues. Are there certain issues they havenāt, of course. But with millions of users and thousands of issues as youāll have with any technology youāll definitely have that.
Full disclosure, yes Iām biased. But Iām speaking factually, any number of the team Iām part of have spoken many many times about the many many issues that have been resolved fairly quickly I might issues that weāre made aware to them via Facebook or these forums, certain team members on these forums have ways of escalating certain types of issues not every issue but certain types, and I thank those people. Even with our team there are certain things that are brought to our attention that we try to bring to other peopleās attention so that they get the fix they need when appropriate.
I donāt know of a whole lot of other companies that have the microscopic view on the customer base that wyze has.
And granted I am a part of a certain recognized team within the company so I tend to argue for their interest, but I do that because their support of their devices has been what it has been over the years Iāve been using the company.
I would hope that if you were to continue with Wyze you could see that side of it, and if not you tag in the mods or the Mavens and we would be more than willing to try and troubleshoot and help. No customer support involved.
There is a wealth of knowledge with these teams and granted we do high five each other in conversations we have, thatās all we get. We are the true definition of nerds and weāre glad to help.
