Wyze completely missed my UPS delivery… only detected “Sound.” Why is this normal?

I honestly don’t know what else to tweak at this point.

Today UPS delivered a package to my front porch. The driver:
•Opened my front gate
•Walked across my yard
•Climbed my front stairs
•Walked directly in front of the camera
•Set the package on my porch
•Walked away

The only event Wyze recorded was “Sound detected.” No person detection, no motion event—just sound.

For reference:

Motion sensitivity: 100
Sound sensitivity: 100
Record All Events is enabled.
I only have push notifications turned on for Person and Vehicle (by choice), but that shouldn’t affect what gets recorded.

The camera clearly saw the UPS truck (it even created a Vehicle event), but somehow failed to recognize the actual human walking right in front of it.

I just renewed my yearly Cam Unlimited subscription a couple of weeks ago. I have several Cam Pan v3’s outdoors, under porch roofs and under the house (I’m in the air on pilings) so they are mostly protected from elements. Cameras are 3 maybe 4 years old (i cant recall if I added them in 2022 or 2023). But let a bird fly by and by golly, thats a person.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a setting I’m missing, or is Wyze’s detection really become this unreliable?

I’ve attached screenshots showing the timeline and the UPS driver standing directly in front of the camera.

Need help identifying my rescued goldfish 🐟

My in-laws recently moved several hours away and left their goldfish behind so needless to say… my heart would not allow this, so my husband and I rescued 9 adult goldfish from a very neglected in-ground swimming pool that had been converted into a pond (they stopped doing regular pool stuff) with little maintenance beyond feeding them.

Since this was very last minute (toward the end of May), we did what we could. (Saw them while getting plants left behind, husband is an avid outdoorsman so he had a tote with fishing things in it so emptied and turned on his rechargeable air bubbler, filled with the water they were in and brought them home, ignoring the plants.)

They’re now in a shaded 270-gallon outdoor setup under our house (it’s on pilings), with:

•Large fountain filter containing sponge, rocks, and bio-media
•Air bubbler
•Fake plants
•A few large river rocks I’ve collected over my 38 years of life
•Plastic totes cut in half to provide hiding spots and shelter

*Added items were prepped by sitting in water they’re now used to for about a day.

We’re doing weekly (sometimes twice-weekly) 50% water changes and just ordered testing kits for water parameters to make sure they’re healthy. Husband was changing the sponge filters out entirely when I told him “hey, I don’t think we are supposed to do that…”

Feeding: They do not like brown pellets so we are back on the orange ones (I still don’t know the names of these but I can get them if anyone would like. Brown came from specific pet store; Orange came from large everything store)

I’d love help identifying what type(s) of goldfish I have. Are they commons, comets, shubunkins, or a mix? I just want to know so that I can research more on what they typically need to be happy and healthy.

And it has been over 20 years since I have had pet fish… ANY tips for these keeping these babies full of happiness and good health are very much appreciated.

*Videos added: first portion is from last week, the last three portions are from this evening.
