Hope you are all having a good weekend,

I have a small part of my cameras view that can see the road, in which the AI will sometimes pick up vehicles, like in my example "car" or "truck" (the area Zone B takes up). This will sometimes trigger a needless alert and result in a mostly empty clip.

I have this working without the use of Zone B, by omitting the same area from Zone A, which removes it from motion detection all together, this works well.
Side note: This is actually a good thing, because it isn't triggering the AI constantly, even when it is not able to confirm the object due to the speed of the vehicles travel. It is pretty steady traffic in the day.

Optimally I was hoping to configure it so even if a "person" was in the area where Zone B would be, they would still be considered for AI detection, but not "cars" or "trucks" in Zone B. I tried setting this up as in the pictures provided above, but it did not seem to be working.

I am not sure if this is how this feature is supposed to work, the Blue Iris documentation on the subject is a little confusing to me. They only mention the use of two zones like example "person:AB"

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
