    PTZ move upon certain zone trigger

    All, I like to "think" I am pretty adept with BI... but this one has me stumped. So with motion detection you can have different zones, right? Okay - I have a PTZ camera on the corner of my house that is typically trained on my driveway. I also have a very wide-angle on my garage that sees...

    I have a camera in Blue Iris set up to record on motion. (Driveway view, 2.8mm) It triggers much of the time, but I have noticed a few occasions where it will trigger once but not retrigger, even though the motion is still going on within the hot zone. (So it looks like people are disappearing)...
