Be sure to forward these observations to ken via the support help button in Bi. he'll never see them here.
I use similar settings in my driveway and a couple of times the camera didn't trigger. I unchecked min obj size and object moves...but that didn't resolve the problem (ran the video through motion detector test). What did solve the problem was reducing the contrast from 23 to 15 (reducing to 19 didn't help--I didn't try 16, 17 or 18). I then rechecked min obj size and object moves and it still triggered properly. This was all before today's update, so I'll keep an eye on future triggers.I haven't had a sunny day with fast moving clouds to see the results, but it has caused BI to miss a lot of motion. It only picks up my cars coming into the driveway half the time now. I've even reduced the make time to 0.5s (was 1s), min object size 200 (was 250), object moves 200 (was 300), and my contrast is set to 20. Object size exceeds is 67%. Yet it misses an entire car.
I think it's important to identify what's causing the alerts. I posted that light/dark changes due to clouds/sun greatly reduced the alerts (on cams where I have one zone for motion detection) that I'm experiencing using edge vector. What's causing your false alerts?I’ve had edge vector selected on two of my cameras for several days now, but I haven’t seen a major decrease from false alerts. I currently have only one zone set up, zone A, because I use Sentry to filter alerts. How do others have their zones set up that have had success with edge vector? i.e. zone crossing or just one zone set up.

What kind of zone adjustments did you have to make? Edge Vector is missing cars and people in that Simple always triggered.Had to adjust some zones, but so far it's working great.
Same things... Edge Vector in some of my cameras doesn't recognize cars and people, but recognizes the rain, cats etc etc....I left everything the same except changed motion detection from Simple to Edge Vector. Since making that change, I'm not getting the triggers that I should. I'm not sure it's quite ready.
Single zone or multiple zones?This has not worked for me. It was obvious person walking around and it was fairly sensitive and it didn't catch anything.
Unsure. Trigger - > configure -> use zones and hot spots -> Zone A and I highlight. How would I use multiple zones?Single zone or multiple zones?
If you post some screenshots of the trigger settings for the profile you're using (main trigger window, object detection window and zone/hot spot window)--might be able to assist.Unsure. Trigger - > configure -> use zones and hot spots -> Zone A and I highlight. How would I use multiple zones?
Can you let me know what setting I should be adjusting?If you post some screenshots of the trigger settings for the profile you're using (main trigger window, object detection window and zone/hot spot window)--might be able to assist.
