[Config Support]: Sorry, again - Parking cars

[frank2604]

Describe the problem you are having

I tried to read and understand everything about the parking cars issues and tips & tricks but obviously I sill doing something wrong.

My goal is, that a car are is only detected and recorded when it enters the ramp (Carport_Zone_Auffahrt), not in the parking space (Carport_Zone_Parkplatz). The recording should stop when the car leaves the ramp, either to the road or to the parking space.

But what happend very often is this:

The car is coming from the road and enters the ramp. So far so good.

But when it has left the ramp and stands on the parking space it becomes the still status for - in this example - 4 hours until the next car is coming.

I thought I managed this with my config below, but ... not.

Any recommendations?

most likely your car mask is not placed correctly. In any case it will only be recorded when motion is happening, just because an event is in progress does not mean it is being recorded continuously. This behavior in the UI is much improved in the next version of frigate

[frank2604]

OK, my current car mask only applies to the road. Does this mean that I also have to create an additional car mask for the parking lot?

[NickM-27]

I would not recommend a car mask for the road unless cars park there, in any case it will most likely just cause problems. In general I think this is something where the next version will fix all problems without these workarounds. For now, if you truly want the event to not be displayed while the car is parked, then a car mask where the car parks is needed.

OK, understand. Yes, car parks sometimes on the road. So, I'll wait with curiosity for the new version. Thanks for the quick help!
