I’m confused by the options on the object detection options.

In this case, will packages be detected? I have turned it off, but enabled All Motion. I expected when I selected the All option it would auto select all choices.

Same question for audio.

When packages are delivered the system will still trigger on motion and you will be notified.  But the notification and recording will not say "package".  It should say "person" if the delivery person was in the field of view, otherwise it will just say "motion".

 

On the other hand, if you turn on all the options except "All Motion", then you will only receive notifications when the system can classify the captured video as people, package, vehicles, animal, or fire.  So detections of wind blowing the trees shouldn't give you notifications.
