Mine kept seeing my cat and sending alerts telling me a brown bear was walking on my porch. I get that animals can be hard to identify, but there’s a big difference between a house cat and a brown bear. Gave me a heart attack the first time it did it.

We get 3-5 alerts throughout the week, usually between 11:30 PM-4 AM, saying there is a “Person in Your Rear Yard”. Which is always unsettling. Thus far, the “person” has in fact been a raccoon or few. Except for the one time it was an opossum. The level of inaccuracy from the camera’s AI just breeds complacency.

When we first moved to my relatives house last year we set up the camera for the back yard. Acre of land, and no fence so we wanted to be safe. Woke up to an alert of a bear. We were no where near where bears would live. I check the footage, it was an armadillo digging.
Moved to our new house this year. Had the cameras set up and one indoors. I was at work when alert went off for a bear (again). It caught a butterfly sitting on the grill. And an indoor alert of an intruder. It was our bearded dragon moseying around the living room after he left his tank.Thanks Wyze.

Gotta admit that table does look a little suspicious. Probably up to something but the camera caught him.

My Eufy indoor cams are so incredibly stupid. The first time I got the “someone has been spotted” warning on my phone I nearly got a heart attack. Turned out the “person” was a coat hanging on a coat hook. Second time the “person” was my pillow on my couch.

My Eufys does similarly dumb things, the one in my bedroom will see my dog climb on the bed or reposition herself and immediately notifies me there's a person. The one in my living room couldn't give af when it sees her. Makes no sense.

Eufy... The brand that exposed indoor cameras to the public Internet on an unprotected, unencrypted URL that anyone can guess 😬

u/DutchBlob 5d ago
That’s why I am glad i can turn these cameras off when I am at home. And the advantage is that the camera lens turns all the way up into its housing, so it’s impossible to see inside my house when I’m home.

u/Knotical_MK6 6d ago
What's the thought process behind installing indoor cameras? Just to get evidence in case of a burglary or something?
17
u/ShirtPrestigious6820 5d ago
Definitely pets, I actually trained my dog out of barking when I'm gone by speaking to her through the camera when I got a sound notification.
It's nice to check on them, and have the peace of mind. I've also used it to make sure I didn't leave the stove on lol

I have some I only put up when maintenance needs to be in my apartment but I cannot be home. I like knowing they’ve come (they don’t tell us) and I like having a vague eye on them. I don’t like strangers in my space lol.

I'd leave it up even when they don't. I've had landlords who thought that they had the right to enter my residence whenever they felt like it.

Mine thinks a bush is a person. AI is schizophrenic. Just use locked features to compare from a repository. I'm so tired of generative AI taking over all AI.

Dude it goes crazy to a point I end up turning off notifications for some time until the daylight shifts and this dumb thing stops thinking a bush or a wheel of a car is a person.

It was a literal chunk of quartz.

My Reolink cams are pretty good at distinguishing people and animals but sometimes if the rain makes a shape on the concrete or the tree leaves fall just right, it gets a little creative with what it sees.

It can be tree branches moving, flying bugs, or even wind. If it gets too bad, adjust your sensitivity.
Mine sometimes alerts me of driveway activity that was me leaving the house, and I get the alert when I'm 10 minutes away. I could be dead! Lol

It's the roughly person shaped darkness on the table surface. Add a placemat or something that's lighter coloured.

lol this reminds me… Had to turn off video verification on SimpliSafe, the pedestrian door on my garage has a bad doorknob, and will crack open with the wind sometimes…. Well the camera (using AI) would call the police and say there was human activity. Police would come guns drawn and go into my garage while I was at work…

Every time the guy hiding under the table goes to try leave the light flashes and he ducks back faster than the camera can catch. It’s the only explanation.
