If a mask overlaps a hot spot, which one takes over?

Ill guess the mask...regardless, simply dont overlap them, problem solved :)
In general, Hotspots are really problematic because it simply creates an area with super sensitive motion detection, which will result in lots of false triggers.

That's actually my situation.

I want a specific path to be a hot spot, but it doesn't fit in a rectangle without adding other regions that are full of false positives.
So I was thinking of masking part of the hot spot rectangle.

You can easily test this by simply masking the whole image and hotspoting the entire image and see if it triggers..
I think you will get lots of false positives regardless because hot spot is super sensitive...I dont use it at all.
