filter based on zone?

[anderson110]

I have a camera pointed out my driveway to the street. I would like to have two zones: one for my driveway, and one for the street. I would like to archive all the events triggered by the zone in the street, and have all the events in the zone on the driveway to not be filtered.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Some good info on exactly what you are looking to do.

I've read both of those multiple times but could not find any information on how to trigger different actions based on which zone was activated. Can you be more specific as to where that information is?

I see..you would like to use 1 camera with 2 zones, each zone triggering a separate action. That is interesting...that I will have to think about how to do it. Possibly a filter combination or maybe looking into the code to see how the zones are generated and adding a signal? Off hand I can not say how to have each active individual zone separately create an ON signal or handle an event differently as an option.

Have you looked into the API and see if there are any possibilities there?

I am trying to do this exact thing practically.

I have a camera pointing to my yard that can see the street in front and the intersecting street. I have two zones (Each called "Street") on the streets and a separate zone (Called "Yard") on the area of the yard.

Currently the Street zones are "Active" and the Yard zone is "Exclusive"

When a car drives by, the street zones are triggered and an event is created.

I can filter these events by going to filter -> Notes - matches - Motion: Street

I can then see every event that has the note "Motion: Street" tagged in it.

What is not happening is anything in the yard being recorded. Maybe I have it set incorrectly or something.

What I would like is like OP, where yard events record and set as Motion: Yard and street events record as Motion: Street. I suppose I want yard events to take precedence, so that a yard event is always recorded even if something is happening on the street.

I'm new at all of this.

try setting the zone covering the yard as Active as well as the street. and add a second filter ->Notes -matches - Motion: Yard.
