Wired video doorbell sending too many push notifications

[Gisoku]

I’ve tried looking through the threads here but haven’t see any for what I’m seeing. My doorbell is set to smart identify vehicles, people and packages, but not all motion. I’m getting push notifications almost constantly from trees moving in the wind and shadows of said trees on my driveway.

They’re coming through as a person, vehicle, package or animal so it sends the push notification. I even have activity zones set but that also doesn’t seem to make a difference.

To make matters worse those videos come through really clean, when there is legitimate activity the images either freeze or go completely green which really defeats the entire purpose of having these.

Start by reducing the motion sensitivity in your modes and rules for the doorbell. I happen to use a setting of 45 which works well for me but you may well need a different setting. Be sure to test to verify that you get the detections you need.
