Shadows set off motion
Posted: Thu Mar 07, 2019 6:37 pm
I have a driveway that need modect function but no matter what I do, shadows from tree branches moving in the wind keep setting off the video recording. I'm pretty sure I know the answer to my question (smile) but I thought I'd ask anyhow in case others have experienced this.
First, when setting the zone in the GUI (1.29 BTW), the zone settings such as Choose Preset and others do not save, ever.
However, I am able to save the X Y location of movement.
I've made the area as small as I can but any smaller and it won't detect what is needed. Is there something that experienced users might do in dealing with this kind of situation or do I have to move the camera or add some other sensors.
BTW, the CAUSE is often Signal so can I also assume ZoneMinder thinks the signal goes away. I know for sure it doesn't since I'm monitoring the camera live on another monitor.
Thanks very much.
