In addition to changing detection zones, there are two other ways to get around pixel changes = motion problems:
- Use the Motion Sensor add-on, part of the sense pack:
- This looks for heat signatures (people, cars, pets) to trigger a recording. It should work well inside so long as it isn’t pointed toward a sunny location. A sunny location can cause heat changes that fool the sensor.
- Upgrade to the latest firmware and app version and use the person motion tagging: Free Person Detection From Wyze
- This assumes that what you’re trying to get alerts about is a person (not an animal or something else)
- Note: You’ll see plenty of comments that mention this, but person detection has kind of a “fatal” flaw right now in that if the unit detects motion, the 5 minute cool-down period will kick in, even if it turns out that the motion wasn’t a person. Expect this to be addressed in a future update.
