Dahua / Luminys too many notifications on tripwire

I'm not sure if this is exactly the right thread for this, but I have a Luminys camera setup (which is pretty much just repackaged Dahua). The notifications from the tripwire drive me absolutely crazy. When someone comes over, they cross the trip wire and i get 15 notifications. I tried setting the notification delay setting to 10s or even 15 seconds thinking it would be a gap between notifications, but that did nothing. Anyone else have a decent solution to this problem? I guess one solution would be to make less of a tripwire zone, but then i feel like it might miss something important. My tripwire zones look like more of a zigzag rather than a box around the permitter. Maybe that should be the way to go?

THe other solution i was thinking about is just stopping the luminys /dahua app notifications and running everything through scrypted homekit. It's a little more annoying but i could have AI connect to the scrypted api and set up a notification timer. It just feels like a lot of work to maintain, and to be honest, the homekit integration doesn't seem that great since it only seems to record when there is motion not 24/7.

Thoughts?
 
Can’t have both

Think in terms of choke points.
One or two single line tripwires

You probably don’t need to cover most of the area you are.

Show a pic of your tripwires then we can better help
 
I often use tripwires inside of a box intrusion zone just like that, ......on areas I dont setup for phone alerts ;)

So yeah it depends on whats critical vs what's just nice to know

A single Intrusion zone box would work, as would two separate single tripwires, one far one near. Intrusion box would provide better coverage
Or do both but only have the Intrusion box notify you.

On the lead up to my carport I have a single narrow intrusion box that acts like a wide tripwire that DOES send me alerts, if they pass that point I want to know NOW
And I also have tripwires that do NOT send alerts for the "nice to know" events that someone was in my driveway
