Do you have push notifications to your phone after hours? I do, but I also keep my phone in "do not disturb" mode so they're silent.
If your detections are set well you should make exemptions.

So the reason I turned off my cams vehicle detection alarm(s) was this. When the cameras detected motion, they look for anything in the frame that the on-board AI recognizes and a person, pet or vehicle. It doesn't matter if that object is moving or not, just if it's in the frame.
That sucks. That hasn't been fixed with an update?



So this is kind of embarrassing given that I install cameras semi-professionally, but I have neglected my own home. Eight cameras is just not enough.

Not to my knowledge. What's better than that is for my PTZ cam, my neighbors occasionally park their car in their drive way and the AI will see it and zoom to it. Since the act of Panning and zooming artificially creates movement in the frame, it locks onto their car as the motion vehicle. It's a black car up against a light colored house so it's a high contrast subject. My other cams usually sort out the original motion event and capture it. I have a total of 6 cams that basically cover the front of the house (including the PTZ). So honestly, I have pretty good coverage with or without the PTZ. I put in the PTZ because I had and extra slot on my NVR and to capture a more continuous stream of motion event or the ability to zoom in on things around the Cul-de-sac. Overall I've been happy with it, but it does have a few quirks.
