My Camera is Detecting Activity Outside of the Areas I Selected
This is most likely due to the current configurations on your camera.
Let's have a look!
1. Ensure your motion area and/or intrusion areas ONLY cover the areas you are looking to get notifications for.
2. Remove Line Crossing if it is enabled and configured.
For Line Crossing we are looking for objects in the whole image.
If you have two detectors active at the same time on the camera and if for both the same analytic are selected...
IE for this example let's say there is a motion analytic and a line crossing analytic and both are configured to look for people:
...you will be getting alerts for objects outside of the motion perimeter via the line detection analytic.
Rain drops also trigger line crossing. In its turn, line crossing triggers object search according to it's rule set up and because this line crossing search is happening for the whole frame you will receive alerts outside of the frames configured.
To avoid this, delete the line detection rule and disable line crossing on the camera itself.
As a note: using more then one detector on the camera often leads to confusion and can even cause missed events because the camera will report one of the events and if the same object will later trigger a second detector, the camera can ignore it.
