Strange alarm frame

Post by marcolino7 »

Hi,
I have 6 IP camera configured in Mocord mode.
on each camera I have some zone Inclusive and Preclusive.
Sometime on 2 specific camera I got some fast alarm frame (1 second) and if I open the frame, I get a complete red square in the frame, but no specific motion. Here is an example:

Here is how my zone is configured:

How can i remove this behavior if is possible?

Many Thanks

Based on my limited experience, with two types of cameras first one was an IP CMOS, and my latest using this now analog CCD type and capture card, and I got a lot of noise in the first one IP CMOS and got a ton of false alarms some had those red perimeter outlines. With my latest CCD camera, I traded a bit of less picture quality for zero false alarms and I am liking this trade off for my situation using MODECT.

When I change my camera settings like the HUE, Color ect, I will get this red outline so I am thinking maybe some CMOS/IP cameras may be causing your issue it did for me. Maybe this is part true my experience is limited and I am still experimenting myself but I am happy with my latest setup.
