This is kind of a sarcastic post, but I have a newer google nest video doorbell and I swear, every time someone is at the door, it would take like a full minute to load the live feed. Like, what’s even the point by then?!
Does yours pull up faster? Do I have a dud?
I have a ring doorbell and it works great.
Mine too. I particular love having Alexa answer the door instead of me, though, if I am not available to respond. Person detection could do with some work, though. I’ve had everything from raccoons to black bears get detected as people. Package detection is great when that works too.
Oh, I’ve had branches that apparently look just like people. I know exactly what you mean.
Lol, kinda funny, I have a huge rhododendron bush that was constantly picking up a vague face pattern too. I eventually got so fed up with it after 2 months of constant person detected notifications that I went outside and pruned that piece of bush a tiny bit and it stopped seeing a person there. That was a year ago. That 1 minute pruning did the trick!
Yeah, that’s what we need to do. But it’s literally a stick. Just a dead stick of a branch. Not even remotely human like. So odd. I think the thing just doesn’t like motion at all, and frankly, I’d rather it was more sensitive than less sooooo… am I really complaining?
Yeah, I’m going to bet you know by now Lorraine which stick / leaf is confusing it. 10/10,strongly recommend.
