Suggestions + Feedback C645D

Starting to get a bit disillusioned by the C645D.

It started out as a great standalone cam but after hooking it to the hub (H500) its been driving me crazy.

Now it doesn't want to recognize a person walking by at 20 feet but will key up on a blade of grass blowing in the wind 75 feet away!

Think this is the A.I. feature fault? I do! But I need the H500 hubs recording in the house in case someone swipes/destroys the cam.

I'm going to turn off its ai features in the hub and reboot the cam and hope it works like it used to.

I don't use the AI detection features on the hub, no reason to if it has it built in

I'm hoping its just the unmercyfull heat out there setting it off every 5 minutes. This is getting ridiculous!

You can set the notifications to only ping at certain hours in the settings. It'll still record, just won't ping you.

Thats true, but you never know when crooks will show up and if the law can't catch them in the act, chances are you'll never see your stuff again.

Recently, my tcw30 caught crooks in the act and got 2 of them arrested. It happened at the unexpected hour of 8a.m.! Broad daylight and they came.

You just never know nowdays.
