That sucks. That hasn't been fixed with an update?
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.

So having seen that cameras alone do not deter criminals, and notifications may not be wanted at all times, I'm going to take my home video surveillance a couple steps further with Home Assistant and WLED.
I believe Protect has a nice HA integration, and for other systems you could use Frigate I guess, but obviously we need to get person detection into HA via whatever avenue. From there it's a really simple automation to fire off a particular WLED preset (red and blue flashing lights sounds good). I'm gonna light up my whole fricking lot next time some a-hole comes around. Might even add some audio "get the *frick* away from my house".
