Why won't Wyze Cam motion tagging highlight objects

 

Understanding Wyze Cam Motion Tagging

 

  • Wyze Cam uses motion tagging to detect movement and highlight moving objects in the video feed. This feature helps users easily identify when activity occurs.
  •  

  • Motion tagging relies on algorithms that process video frames to differentiate between static and dynamic areas of the frame.

 

Possible Reasons for Motion Tagging Failure

 

  • Insufficient Lighting: Poor lighting can cause the camera to struggle in detecting motion, as shadows and low contrast can confuse the motion detection algorithm.
  •  

  • Firmware Glitches: Outdated or corrupted firmware might lead to issues with motion tagging capabilities. Firmware updates often fix known bugs and improve performance.
  •  

  • Camera Placement: If the camera is placed in a location where it’s not receiving a clear view or captures too much background noise, motion tagging might fail.
  •  

  • Environmental Factors: Rapid changes in lighting or the presence of reflective surfaces can interfere with motion detection.
  •  

  • Camera Settings: Incorrect sensitivity settings for motion detection can lead to inadequate motion tagging.

 

How to Fix Motion Tagging Issues

 

  • Increase Lighting: Ensure the area is well-lit. Improving lighting conditions can significantly enhance the camera’s ability to detect motion.
  •  

  • Update Firmware: Check for any available firmware updates in the Wyze app and apply them. Updating firmware may resolve bugs affecting motion tagging.
  •  

  • Adjust Camera Placement: Relocate the camera to a spot with a direct and unobstructed view of key areas. Avoid locations with excessive background motion that isn’t relevant, such as busy streets.
  •  

  • Eliminate Reflective Sources: Remove or adjust reflective surfaces that may confuse motion detection within the camera’s field of view.
  •  

  • Modify Motion Sensitivity Settings: Access the Wyze app settings and adjust the motion detection sensitivity to a level that captures the intended motion effectively without too much noise.
