[Support]: Bug With Zone Filters Not Filtering After Becoming Active

[NickM-27]

Describe the problem you are having

I have my front doorbell with 3 zones setup. I have a filter setup on the street zone which will only detect a car if it has a min_area of 16000 or more (trying to look only for delivery trucks). It seems that this works for starting the zone detection, but once the zone is active the neighbors car parked in the street (2000 area) will keep the recording / zone going long after the truck has driven by.

The confusing part is that this doesn't happen every time, at some point the clip will stop while the neighbor car is still there.

This is the vehicle that started the clip:

This is the snapshot and vehicle that passed by before the clip stopped:

Here is the zone layout:

[NickM-27]

It occurred to me that odds are, the min_area is just a filter for an object starting the zone due to the scenario where an object would move away from the camera and may be smaller but should continue to be tracked. Perhaps a config option is necessary so in my case the object must always satisfy the min_area requirement to be considered apart of that zone

[vakilando]

@NickM-27 it seems that you have left your real passwords in the config files?
if this ist the case yout should change them.
