Description

I am using motioneye to monitor my roofspace to monitor a known source of water ingress. I have the set minimal the thresholds as low as I can but I am not convinced that I am catching every movement that is detectable. Not least because I can see water dripping outside the red bounding box in the debug in an area that is not masked off.

Any one have any suggestions to make this more sensitive in this application?

Research direction: The user is seeking to improve motion detection sensitivity. Investigate the mask configuration in motioneye and the underlying motion daemon settings. Review the motion documentation for threshold parameters and suggest adjustments to the bounding box and sensitivity sliders. Check if there are known limitations in the version used (Motion 4.2.2) that affect detection.
