What is your on_area_detect set to do?
area_detect
- Type: String
- Range / Valid values: Max 4095 characters
- Default: Not defined
Detect motion in predefined areas (1 - 9) and when Motion is detected in
the area, execute the script. All of motion detection still continue. This
option is only to execute the on_area_detect script.
Areas are numbered like
- 1 2 3
- 4 5 6
- 7 8 9

I'd recommend creating and using a mask_file, if you have no script set to
run for area_detect.
mask_file
- Type: String
- Range / Valid values: Max 4095 characters
- Default: Not defined
The full path and filename for the masking pgm file. If needed, the mask
will be resized to match the width and height of the frames being captured.
If you have one or more areas of the camera image in which you do NOT want
motion detected (e.g. a tree that moves in the wind or a corner of the
picture where you can see cars/pedestrians passing by) you need a mask
file. This file is a picture that you create in your favorite photo editing
program. The areas that you want detected must be white. The area that you
want ignored must be black. The pgm image should be the same size (number
of pixels high and wide) as the pictures that are taken by the camera so
you can define the correct area to mask. You can adjust sensitivity by
using gray tones. If you do not have a mask file disable this option by not
having it in the config file or comment it out. If you are using the
rotate <https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html#rotate> or
flip_axis <https://motion-project.github.io/motion_config.html#flip_axis>
options,
note that the mask is applied *after* the rotation.
