If you want to contribute to LEO, why not set up another (VM/RPi/instance)
motion setup with a 3-5 day to a NAS or USB drive and have it auto-delete
everything after that time frame, and just leave it unmasked (or reverse
the masked area) for them? I have a second instance of a camera that I do
that after a number of neighborhood issues.

Subject: [Motion-user] mask with different dimensions
Message-ID: <7c49ee1d-785d-175f-2340-a60b08cd7...@gmail.com>

Hi,
Running motion v4.4.0 on rpi with 3 camera lines in motion.conf,
pointing to 3 different camera##.conf files. They were all set for width
640 and height 480, until a squirrel sliced the network cable on one,
and after moving a camera into that position with a different width
height, I find the mask file does not work correctly.
I commented out the width and height from the motion.conf file, and
added them to the individual camera##.conf files, and did create a mask
file with the correct dimensions 800x448, but I am getting motion
triggers outside the mask. Specifically above the white area, in the
black, suggesting motion is still assuming the height is 480, and the
mask is being centered vertically??
Has this been tested or seen before?
Stewart

I always save a snapshot from the camera and make the mask from that to be
sure the dimensions match, then export it to .pgm
