The company’s latest feature uses AI-enabled descriptive alerts to identify events that are “no big deal,” only sending notifications for events worthy of attention.
Seattle – March 26, 2025 – Wyze, a company creating products that make homes smart and safe, today announced a first-of-its-kind AI-powered “NBD” Notifications Filter. Expanding the suite of AI features in Wyze’s Cam Unlimited Pro subscription, the new filter smartly reviews events and decides whether to notify users when motion is detected, addressing the pain point of home security notification fatigue.
“Overwhelming security camera notifications are a pain point for users who often make the tough decision to either view all of their notifications or none. The ‘NBD’ Notifications Filter tackles notification overload while still ensuring users receive critical alerts to protect their homes," said Dave Crosby, co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer at Wyze. “Nobody buys a security camera to watch the wind blow. This filter ensures that customers can rely on Wyze to notify them of a big deal event instead of crying wolf.”
This new feature builds on Descriptive Alerts, which accurately summarize motion events using AI to provide critical details and contextual information. The “NBD” Notifications Filter provides an intelligent layer of discernment to decide whether a notification is “no big deal” or worthy of alerting the user. The company trained its AI model to rank detected motions on a scale from one through five so users will only receive notifications for highly ranked events that require attention. It also filters out repetitive notifications, such as kids playing in the yard for three hours, and only sends a notification if there is a new or unusual activity detected. Examples include:
- Score 1: For events of low importance, such as routine activities like a robot vacuum cleaning, bugs flying by, cars driving, or even the user entering the room.
- Score 3: For events that might warrant your attention, such as a package delivery or your baby crying.
- Score 5: Important, critical situations such as glass breaking, a gunshot, or an unknown person lingering near your door.
