Does anyone have any suggestions on how to NOT trigger a recording when vehicle lights during the night that enter my defined zone. My driveway is close to the adjacent street so when any car turns left, their lights shine momentarily in my driveway for about 3 seconds.
version 1.25 running on ubuntu 10.04 server.
attached is my zone and parameters.

Increase your "Overload Frame Ignore Count" setting; 3 seconds will be hard to get without affecting other motion detection.

I'll give that a try. any suggested starting number?
What do you think abut playing with the colors to block out bright white light?

I'm using a value of 4 to stop passing cars (@10 fps that's .4 seconds) from triggering an event. I'm unsure how you would block a certain color from triggering an event; not saying it can't be done just I haven't tried. If you are successful I'd be very interested how; this would open up a new strategy to combat false alarms.
