Arlo pro 3- detecting as package instead of person

Soniapad — Fri, 22 Oct 2021 02:45:38 GMT

For the past 3 days my library alerts is showing package instead of person. It’s not a package when these alerts are recorded. They are actually people!
I contacted arlo, they told me I had to remove vehicle, animal and all other motion notifications for people to be detected. (HOW IS THAT?) I explained again, people are being detected but it is being noted as animal. They couldn’t help me solve this and said they will e-mail me. I knew that was going to be the last of that

Soniapad,

Is this intermittent or is it labeling every detection incorrectly? Is the issue still occurring today?

It’s only happening with people.
It’s detects motion but it’s showing as package instead of person.

Soniapad,

Is there a package anywhere in the image? Or an object that could be mistaken for a package?

None. No packages.

Soniapad,

Could you provide an example image of an alert that shows as a package when it should be a person?

People are walking in and out. This issue started 4 days ago.

@JamesC In the screenshot in @Soniapad first post shows items on the porch that the AI may be confusing it with.

Thanks for pointing out the image in the first post dcfox1, I missed it.

Soniapad,

It looks like you've got several shapes within the cameras field of view that could be perceived as a package by the cloud. What seems to be happening is the camera is triggered by a person, and then a shape in the image is analyzed and the cloud thinks there is a package. I'll escalate this topic to the dev team internally and see if they can identify the cause, but it's possible the pattern on the ground could be causing the issue.

As a test, consider temporarily relocating the camera to a location where none of your front door is visible and test to see if you still get the same results.
