Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience with the Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro. We understand how important it is for your floodlight to respond quickly and accurately, especially when you rely on it for security and convenience. Here are some steps and tips to help optimize your Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro’s motion detection and lighting response:

Smart Detection Delay:
The Wyze Cam Floodlight Pro uses onboard AI for smart detection (people, vehicles, etc.), which can sometimes introduce a slight delay (like the 10–20 seconds you mentioned) as it processes the scene. This is different from traditional infrared sensors, which react instantly to any motion, including non-human triggers.

All Motion vs. Smart Detection:
Setting the floodlight to trigger on “All Motion” will make it more responsive, but as you noticed, it may also react to things like headlights or animals.
Using “Smart Detection” helps reduce false triggers but may have a slight delay.
Optimizing Floodlight Settings:
To get the best balance between responsiveness and accuracy, please try the following:

Go to the floodlight’s settings > Floodlight Settings.
Under Brightness Level, set the slider to High.
Under Activate when camera detects, ensure Motion is toggled on.
Choose your preferred motion type: All Motion or Smart Detections (make sure Person and Vehicle are selected if using Smart Detections).
Set the Lights Off Timer to 5 minutes while testing.
Adjust the Schedule to your preferred timeframe, and try resetting it to clear any stuck settings.
Test the floodlight during the set timeframe to see if performance improves.
