Describe the problem you are having

The mask is most likely wrong, no way to know without a visual example

[hawkeye217]

If you've used a motion mask, you've used it incorrectly. Read this tip: #13040

If you're using an object mask, you need to make sure it covers the bottom center of the bounding box. Read the docs: https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/masks/#object-filter-masks

[jubjubrsx]

thanks for the quick reply its not a motion mask. I've extended out the mask ....ALOT

[hawkeye217]

Great. To reiterate, the mask only needs to cover the bottom center of the car's bounding box.

The link to the tip above also discusses using required_zones, which may also be another option, depending on your needs.

Just a simple note
if the object mask is set properly:
looking on the config file Object mask you will find on "Filters" for that selected camera

filters:
        dog:
          mask: ... numbers ....

it's so easy on .14 set it and save in the config (RESTART is prompted and required).
