Is it possible to rotate the image that is captured by some arbitrary amount? I've got a street that goes diagonal through the image which makes creating zones a bitch. Aside from somehow rotating the physical camera itself, is there a way to do the same through monitor settings? I noticed that there was some kind of rotation setting already but it looks like it's hard coded to specific settings.

Hi Ian,

Arbitrary rotation of images is tricky and time consuming. Rotation by 90 degree increments is simpler you are just moving pixels around, if you rotate by other amounts you have to interpolate pixels and you then have to trim or expand it to fit a rectangle.

I do have arbitrary shaped zone on my todo list however which would allow you to define a bitmap that can be used to define a zone.
