[Config Support]: Limit stationary object events for a single object type in a zone.

[bluesk1d]

Describe the problem you are having

I have a number of zones for the front of my house and I am trying to limit stationary vehicles generating events in the driveway while still being able to detect other object types.

There is a good example in the docs here and I could use the sidewalk in the same way as "Zone 2" but I don't want that same restriction on people and animals. I have tried limiting the object types that the "Driveway" zone will detect but it seems if a car is already parked there and becomes detected via other motion, it sits there as an ongoing event forever. There is no zone displayed in the ongoing event so perhaps that is why it isn't filtering it but I am not sure if the zone info doesn't fill in until the event is over. I've also tried to limit events to objects that are in one of the defined zones and that didn't seem to help.

I've attached a pic that shows the zone boundaries and the object bounding box if that helps visualize it. I also attached a shot of the event indicating no zone for the object.

Is there a better way to filter out that car while leaving other detections unaffected?

This is because you haven't made the zones required for events

This is because you haven't made the zones required for events

I utilized the method listed from the linked doc page "To limit snapshots and events, you can list the zone for the entrance of your driveway under required_zones in your configuration file. Example below." Is there more I need to do?

[NickM-27]

You only made the zone required for recordings not snapshots, events are made up of recordings and snapshots.
