Is there a way to tell which of the motion detection areas has triggered?

I set up Motion Detection on a Hikvision DS-2CD2142FWD-I camera.
Is there a way to tell which of the 8 motion detection areas has triggered the recording?

(Yes MD results in a lot of recordings I am aware of that)

SDK could be your best bet at getting somewhere.


Metadata does contain the trigger coordinates, and you could play with these to find out which area triggered it if there is no exact area ID in SDK:

Are you recording to a Hikvision NVR?
In the web GUI, under System, tick the box 'Enable rules' and all triggered events will show on the video.

no, to a Synology NVR
