recording video with motion highlights and rectangles

Hi,
I do have an issue were motion triggers for no obvious reasons on exterior cameras... Maybe wind, sun or whatever garden gnomes...
I know we can see live how motion detection does it's work but I was wondering if there's a way to actually save those highlights and rectangles to the actual motion footage in order to better adjust it based on previous alerts ?
Thanks

In the clip list, it will show the rectangle that caused the motion to trigger. You may have to click the '+' to increase the size to see the clips better.
Your most likely recording direct-to-disc. If you want to see the rectangles in the recordings, change to 'Re-Encode'.

Thank you very much ! Yes indeed I record in direct to disk to save on cpu.
Also, I was wondering if there was any better way to avoid triggering motion detection when the ptz on a specific camera is activated than using "object size exceeds" under objects detection ?
Is there any option where BI would stop motion detection when ptz (used via BI obviously) is used ? Or maybe whenever a ptz is used, enable a specific profile or something ?

Hi tlex,
The help file states that motion detection is suspended during ptz operation, and for 1.5 seconds afterwards. What are you seeing with your camera ?

You can set motion detection zones for each ptz (if you want). This was, when you move a camera using the ptz buttons, it will not detect motion in areas you don;t want.
In the cameras properties, go to the 'PTZ/Control' tab. Then 'Edit Presets'. Check & edit the 'Override motion zones'.
