Suggestion: Email upon motion in selected area.
Not planned
Originally from ticket #716.
I would like to be able to setup a an email notification/rule for smaller
areas in a camera's view. For example I may want to record the entire
image of a parking lot, but have an email sent to me when someone walks up
to the front door.
I can think of two ways to accomplish this in the interface.
The easiest would be to make use of multiple motion sensitivity regions. So
if I had the main motion detection set to #5, I could then draw a #6 region
over the just the front door. In the camera rules we would then need an
advanced option for when Motion on Camera if Level #6 or higher, then
follow the rule.
Alternatively, and more flexible, you could duplicate the motion detection
system inside the Alarm/Event Rules system. Then we could simply say
perform a rule when motion is in this unique area.
In addition it would open the door for other analytics such as setting
virtual trip wires with vectors.

Thank you! It's all sounds reasonable. And
However to be honest with you, I would not count on the fact that this is going to be available within next 2 releases.
Thanks. I realize you probably already have a stack of features on your road map.

That's interesting.
I would think that the easiest way to implement it would be to have a identifier that is the same as the motion detection level of sensitivity. You choose your sensitivity level (say 5), and you choose your identifier (nothing, or A,B,C,D, etc. etc.). You can then setup up rules that say when motion is detected in a box marked with a "C" Identifier, then do an action.
This gives you the flexibility of choosing the same ID on several different cameras, or, keeping the ID unique to specific camera channel.
It would probably be easier to code, so a new interface does not have to be designed, motion engines don't have to be duplicated, etc.

I know this is old but I was hoping for the same functionality.
