Camera is triggering notices outside of activity zone. They are not working. What a waste of code that doesn’t work.

The cloud fix for this issue has been released and you should be seeing the results of the fix now. You may need to remove and reapply activity zones and toggle your smart alerts now that the fix is available. Please let us know if you are still seeing inaccurate smart alerts and/or motion being detected outside your activity zones.

 

Thank you,

JamesC

This can be due to IR reflections. Objects outside the zone may reflect the sun's IR in a way that the sensor thinks it's inside the zone. Repositioning the camera may help as well as reducing sensitivity in your modes and rules.

 

\Post a screenshot of the camera view for suggestions.

No picture attached. Use the paper clip icon below the text box.

 

Reflections can come of any number of things including leaves and branches. The sun's IR is very strong.

Thx.  I'm also not seeing much possibility for reflections.

 

Are you seeing moving shadows on the ground in the motion recordings?

That's a completely different issue.

 

What cameras do you have?  Do you have a subscription?

Can’t set activity zones, ac power not connected. Is this new a requirement?

You either need a subscription for the camera (using cloud activity zones) or AC power (processing activity zones in the camera).

 

This is not new.
