Darknet zones and labels

[ceewanna]

I have recently explored darknet and observed that using zones with labels under each zone without any label specified under camera resulted in recording but there was no objects shown in log file. The logging of objects will only appear when there are labels specified under camera.

In the past I only made use of labels under camera and mask. However, when I look in the document about zones I wonder what would be the appropriate setting of labels for zones and cameras (which to me seems to be a higher level). How do we set Zone/Label and Camera/Label? What if there are conflicts between the setting of Camera/Label and Zone/Label?

Interesting, will take a look at that.

How do we set Zone/Label and Camera/Label? What if there are conflicts between the setting of Camera/Label and Zone/Label?

Not sure i understand the question fully. The camera labels and the zone labels are completely separate so if there is overlap both will trigger recordings (essentially making the zone redundant)

The camera labels and the zone labels are completely separate so if there is overlap both will trigger recordings (essentially making the zone redundant)

My use case so far are 1) labels under cameras + (optional) some masks and 2) labels under zones + (optional) some masks (without any labels under cameras).

Case 1) everything seemed to work fine with labels and motion detected, including "End event"
Case 2) resulted in no labels shown in log file but it seemed to perform recordings fine. Only motion detected and "End event" shown in log.

On case 2) when some labels are added under camera, the log file will contains labels of object detected (which looked similar to in case 1).
