How to Reduce False Motion Alerts from Headlights and Shadows on Wyze Cam v4: Expert Tips & Settings

To help reduce false motion alerts caused by headlights or shadows with your Wyze Cam v4, we recommend the following tips:

• Adjust Motion Detection Zones: Set up custom motion detection zones in the Wyze app to focus only on areas where you expect genuine activity, minimizing alerts from passing headlights or moving shadows.
• Lower Motion Sensitivity: Reduce the motion sensitivity setting to help the camera ignore minor changes in lighting or movement that are not important.
• Position the Camera Strategically: Angle your Wyze Cam v4 away from direct sources of headlights or areas where shadows frequently move, such as near busy streets or driveways.
• Enable Person Detection: Take advantage of the built-in person detection feature to receive alerts only when a person is detected, filtering out irrelevant motion from lights or shadows.
• Use Scheduled Monitoring: Set up monitoring schedules to disable motion alerts during times when false triggers are most likely, such as during rush hour or when outdoor lights are frequently turning on and off.

These features are designed to help you get the most accurate and relevant alerts from your Wyze Cam v4, ensuring your home security system works smarter for you.
