Objects must be moving and visible within the boundary of a zone for at least 100 ms. Minimum and maximum dimensions supplied by the user serve as guidance to internal segmentation algorithms but do not strictly disqualify objects from consideration. Motion in any direction inside a zone will trigger an event.

Zone 2 to Zone 1: Event detected only if object moves from zone 2 to zone 1. Bi-directional: Event detected if object moves either from zone 1 to 2 or from zone 2 to 1. -Sensitivity: A high sensitivity setting makes it less likely that an event is missed, but can make the algorithm susceptible to false alarms.
