Multiple clips from a rule

by johnesher » Sun Aug 10, 2014 6:34 am

I have just recently begun seeing multiple clips when viewing a rule. For instance I have rule boundary rule set up for crossing in either direction on my driveway. When I walked up the drive this morning, it was triggered. I went to view the clips from overnight I see three clips of the same recording - me walking up the driveway.

I noticed the same behavior yesterday, but don't recall if it was the same rule or not. Any thoughts on why this might be occurring?

Boundary rules are instantaneous rules (they fire when you cross the line) and a clip will be generated for *each* crossing of the boundry. For region based rules, in contrast, we'd keep things as one continuous clip until no object was in that region.

Boundry rules will fire each time a person crosses the line in the given direction, you may have a bidirectional boundary rule, and you may be going back and forth over it. More details on troubleshooting boundary and region rules can be found here: https://www.sighthound.com/support/regi ... t-i-expect
