It would be nice to allow the corners of the detection zone to be outside of a 90 degree angle. I have a different product for my door bell and I can set the detection zone whatever I like it to be with all different points instead of just 4 corners.

Wyse did introduce a detection zone which divided the picture up into much smaller squares which you could individually enable/disable a few firmware revisions ago ( I only had V2 at the time)

But it got withdrawn, not sure if when we can expect it t make a come back

# BIG EDIT

Now I check it on the app rather than my memory , I see it still works like that on my V2s but not on the V3  
Not sure why that is

the v3 custom detection zone is currently in beta…if u download the beta app & then update the v3 firmware, you’ll be able to use the custom detection zone.

My 4 WCO have the grid detection zone which does nothing at all. I have darkened out entire trees and surrounding area and still get event videos of swaying branches 😲
