Separate zones for one camera

[Sungray]

I'd like to be able to configure separate zones for the same camera. For instance, if I have a camera which sees the driveway and the garden, I'd like to be able to execute different actions based on what zone and what object has been detected.

It could look something like this:

"Cameras": [
    {
      "Name": "BackDoor",
      "Types": [ "Person, Car" ],
      "Threshold": 30,
      "Zones": [
        1: {
            "Start": { "X": 0, "Y": 0 },
            "End": { "X": 720, "Y": 1080},
            "Mode": Intersect (optional),
            "Types": [ "Car" ] (optional)

        },
        2: {
            "Start": { "X": 721, "Y": 0 },
            "End": { "X": 1920, "Y": 1080},
            "Mode": Contains (optional),
            "Types": [ "Person" ] (optional)
        }
      ]

And the notifier would add the zone where the object was detected:

{
  "camera": "BackDoor",
  "foundTypes": [
    "Car"
  ],
  "predictions": [
    {
      "Label": "car",
      "Confidence": 67.89117,
      "MinX": 238,
      "MinY": 420,
      "MaxX": 804,
      "MaxY": 844,
      "SizeX": 566,
      "SizeY": 424,
      "Zone": 1
    }
  ],
  "message": "Motion detected on BackDoor Zone 1\n\nDetected 1 objects:\nCar"
}

Interesting idea. It might be better to find an elegant way to split a single camera into multiple camera objects. Perhaps something like this:

"Cameras": [{
      "Name": "Driveway",
      "Camera": "BackDoor",
      "Zone": {
            "Start": { "X": 0, "Y": 0 },
            "End": { "X": 720, "Y": 1080},
      },
      "Types": [ "Person, Car" ],
      "Threshold": 30
   }, 
   {
      "Name": "Garden",
      "Camera": "BackDoor",
      "Zone": {
            "Start": { "X": 721, "Y": 0 },
            "End": { "X": 1920, "Y": 1080},
      },
      "Types": [ "Person, Car" ],
      "Threshold": 30
   }
]

Would just need some logic to avoid overlapping zones, or could just find the first applicable zone match for the prediction.

This would then allow all the config to just work as it does already without having to move thresholds, exclusions, types, etc, into a child Zones array.

Yes that would be very good!
