ZONES
A zone is a defined boundary or area that is monitored by a configured behavior. A zone can be defined by a box, polygon, or line. If a box or
polygon is drawn to define the zone, any motion in the defined direction triggers an alarm. For example, if a line is drawn to define the zone, any
motion that crosses the line in the defined direction triggers an alarm. Objects within a zone can also be excluded and sized.
