I have animal detection disabled (i.e. don't notify me) but I routinely and continually get animal detected notifications.  Aside from my own dogs, we have tons of wildlife in our area so constantly getting detections is quite annoying.  All I want to know is human or vehicle detections...

Any ideas?

Are the unwanted recordings all labeled as "animal"?

 

Though there might well be a bug here, you might also want to turn off "all other motion".

Turning off animals in smart notifications only disables the notifications - recordings are still made.

 

So I should have said "Are the unwanted notifications all labeled as animal?"

I don't mind the recordings but the notifications are still occurring and yes, they are labeled as Animal Detected even though it's not supposed to be notifying me of such.

Also having this problem.

 

The notifications still shows even though i have animal toggled off. the notification shows "detected motion", no preview is shown in app even thout i have a subscription an smart messages enabled. The library then a little bit later shows the motion(clip) and the correct categorization (i.e. animal). 

 

Seems like a problem in backend/cloud, can you please look at this, have been like this for several weeks now.
