## Motion masks
Motion masks are used to prevent unwanted types of motion from triggering detection. Try watching the debug feed with `Motion Boxes` enabled to see what may be regularly detected as motion. For example, you want to mask out your timestamp, the sky, rooftops, etc. Keep in mind that this mask only prevents motion from being detected and does not prevent objects from being detected if object detection was started due to motion in unmasked areas. Motion is also used during object tracking to refine the object detection area in the next frame. Over masking will make it more difficult for objects to be tracked. To see this effect, create a mask, and then watch the video feed with `Motion Boxes` enabled again.

To create a poly mask:
1. Visit the Web UI
1. Click the camera you wish to create a mask for
1. Select "Debug" at the top
1. Expand the "Options" below the video feed
1. Click "Mask & Zone creator"
1. Click "Add" on the type of mask or zone you would like to create
1. Click on the camera's latest image to create a masked area. The yaml representation will be updated in real-time
1. When you've finished creating your mask, click "Copy" and paste the contents into your config file and restart Frigate
2. Click/tap the gear icon and open "Settings"
3. Select "Mask / zone editor"
4. At the top right, select the camera you wish to create a mask or zone for
5. Click the plus icon under the type of mask or zone you would like to create
6. Click on the camera's latest image to create the points for a masked area. Click the first point again to close the polygon.
7. When you've finished creating your mask, press Save.
8. Restart Frigate to apply your changes.

Your config file will be updated with the relative coordinates of the mask/zone:
```yaml
motion:
