I have posted my Camera config above but I am wondering if I have mis-interpreted how to configure the various sections properly. Reading through the Doc’s, it’s a little bit confusing whether certain sections should be grouped or segregated in their own right.

As you can see from the config, there is a mask entered in several times to try and make this area of the footage ignored (as this is where the window and door are that cause the event recording.

Below is a screenshot of the mask and an event recording showing the lit up window and door which is still happening despite this mask.

Thanks Mincka, I can see I missed the bottom of the door through the van window. I have just modified the mask to cut that out too and am about to test 👍

Maybe you can close this issue?

Oppps, forgot, thanks.
