I'm trying to automate creating monitors and zones with the API in version 1.30.4. I have the first part working and can create all the monitors but zones are causing me some problems. I pulled my code straight from the API docs. When I create a zone, I end up with values of "Infinity" and "NaN" in some of the Min/Max fields. I can then go in and select one of the values from the Preset drop down and resave the zone. However, the zone will not work until I move one at least one of the points manually and then resave. When I do that, it computes the area and then starts working. I have quite a few cameras so I'm trying to cut out the manual steps. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
