Motion Sensitivity picking up pets when set for People Only

Yup. That’s why I’m asking Ring. Jennifer came in and gave the same info I already have, but no fixes.

Something changed. Suddenly, it’s picking up ALL movement regardless of the setting (Motion Settings / Motion Sensitivity). The right side is all motion, left side says People Only. I have mine on people only yet it picks up all animal movement.

It’s frustrating with all the false alerts I get. I rely on this camera (you know, what Security Camera’s are supposed to do) to let me know if something as large as a person comes into view.

I suspect that the algorithms used to delineate between animals and people, take into account the zone sizes and setup, and then coupled camera angels are all correlated are very hard to get right.

Too bad there is no “false alarm” setting so the camera can learn when it should notify me, and adjusts its setting accordingly based on my feedback. Maybe it’s something that could be incorporated into the system?
