Re false positive, please see this Wishlist topic:
Motion detection is pixel based. It is not tracking object, but only pixel changes from one frame to the next. The only exception is person detection which, unfortunately, is being removed temporarily in the next update.
There are several other wishlist topics asking for various kinds of object detection. Please search for and vote for and or comment on those.
Your submission was moved to #ask-the-community for more clarification and because of the overlap with several existing wishlist topics.
The SD card recording is totally separate from cloud events, other than that events would start at the same time based on some motion. Here’s an overview:
There are three kinds of recording available in the app:
- Cloud motion/sound event: These are enabled in the camera settings (gear icon) > Event Recording. Also make sure that the Detection Zone under Detection Settings is not missing the area of motion. These are played back in the Events tab.
- microSD card recording: This is enabled in Advanced Settings > Local Storage and can be set to continuous or event only recording. This is played back by pressing the View Playback button on the live stream. This is completely independent from #1.
- Record button on live stream or playback: This saves to your phone’s camera roll or gallery, in real time, whatever is being played in the live stream or view playback. Note that it isn’t available when playing cloud events. It is viewed by tapping More and then the Album button, or by leaving the Wyze app and viewing the Wyze album in your phone’s photos or gallery app. This type of recording ceases when you leave the Wyze app.
More info on setting these up can be found in the Support Site.
