My daytime "human" rules work well but I'm having issues with nighttime rules. I think this definitely should have triggered the tripwire rule. I do not have any other motion or smart motion detection enabled. Using a Color4k-T camera.
Need Some IVS Help - Rule Doesn't Seem to be Working

My 4K-Ts don’t activate on critters usually
Does your normally activate on critters?
Did the Intrusion zone pick it up?
Also tripwires can be tricky. There is a 3D element to them where the deer could have literally walked “under” that rule.
Try doing your zig zag horizontally vs vertical. Start with a line left to right the entire length of your area of concern right at the curb edge.
Them cross back right to left and spread the lines out about 3ft or so working back towards the house.

I've got Target Filter=off so I assume it should activate on any motion. A few weeks ago as a test I extended the 'vertical' tripwire lines a bit over the sidewalk and did get a number of 'hits' on people walking on the sidewalk.
I've added some horizontal lines to see if that helps.
Edit: @bigredfish I did take your advice and add some horizonal zig zag lines.

None of the cameras with the human/vehicle target filters let you turn them off, in the sense of activating on any motion. Maybe one or the other can be turned off, but both at the same time, can't do it. Those check boxes in the UI are placebos. This has been an ongoing headache for those who want IVS to trigger on animals. The only exceptions are the 5442 S3 that has an animal filter, and possibly the PRO series. I have a 4k-x and T-180, and with the target filters off a herd of animals could dance right in front of them with zero IVS triggers.
If it works for ya great.
Just saying the flatter horizontal zig zag “ closer to the ground” so to speak will likely work better
