For those of us that play in the shallow end of the pool.
This seems to work for area_detect, I would try to do something using
coordinates if I knew how.* It would be a good feature to be able to use
multiple target directories vs masking an area.* I've had the police at my
house multiple times looking for video from the street in front of my
house, but the street was masked because there were just too many videos.
They wanted information about everything from looking for vehicles to a
person that wandered away and was found deceased in the woods. Feel free to
comment on a better way to do this.

then
mkdir -p /cache/video/Cam1B/$DATE #create the path to copy the file to
chmod -R a+rw /cache/video/Cam1B/* #make sure the path is writeable
mv -f /cache/video/Cam1/$FILE2 /cache/video/Cam1B/$DATE #move the file
to the new directory

My best thought for a workaround would be to have motion recording all
movement, then have a script to run another motion profile against each
file on an interval basis. The scripted motion would detect movement on the
street alone and move those files to another directory. Or it could be set
to detect and move the files with motion in your primary area, as to not
accidently move the good files when there's also movement in the street.
Having the abilities you speak of would likely cause the people using a
raspberry pi to not be able to use motion. The pi can barely handle the
process as it is.
