getting a 'person detection failed' error on my s340, it's recording cars but not people walking by.

— asked by Casey

Quick answer: The AI detection settings are too restrictive or the camera's firmware needs an update.

Diagnosis

The AI detection settings are too restrictive or the camera's firmware needs an update.

How to Fix It

Verify detection settings. In the app, go to the camera's settings. Select 'Detection Settings'. Ensure 'Human' is toggled ON. Under 'Activity Zone', confirm the zone covers the walking path. Adjust the 'Sensitivity' slider for Human detection to 'High'.

If That Didn't Work

Update the camera's firmware. In the Eufy Security app, go to the device settings for the S340. Tap 'General' > 'Check for Updates'. Install any available firmware. This often improves AI algorithm accuracy.

Heads Up

The camera uses a combination of pixel movement and AI shape analysis. Loose clothing or people moving very quickly at the edge of the frame may occasionally not trigger the 'Human' tag, but will still be recorded as a 'Motion' event.
