Show where motion was detected (re false alerts)
Sometimes, even with advanced motion detection and customized motion zones, I get false alerts. I watch the video and there is absolution no motion within my motion zones. I would like a way, during playback of the video, to be able to "see" where in the video it was that caused motion to be detected. Then maybe I can adjust the motion zones. Right now I get way too many false alerts and I have no idea where the camera is detecting motion. Maybe have the spot(s) where motion was detected optionally be able to flash white.

I have a wired stick up camera in my garage that looks out toward the garage door. The view shows 0-2 cars, depending on who is home, and some tools and bikes lined up along the wall. I often receive false notifications saying there is a person in my garage, when there is no one there. I have no idea which object in the view is triggering these alerts. I have my sensitivity settings all set to minimum and all smart alerts turned on in an attempt to reduce false alerts.Because it happens so often, I have started dismissing these alerts without checking them. It is becoming a "boy who cried wolf" scenario - I get so many false alerts that if there actually was someone in my garage, I would probably just dismiss it and not realize it.My proposed solution (and feature request) is to please add an option to debug and see what object triggered the alert. This could be something as simple as placing a thin green rectangle around the object. This way I can see what object is being mistaken as a person and I can either remove the object or block it off in the detection zone.
