   * Active 
     Triggers an alarm when motion is detected within it.  This is the zone type you'll use most often, and which will be set for your default zone.  Only Active and Exclusive zones can trigger an alarm.
@@ -32,7 +32,10 @@ Type
     This zone type is relatively recent. It is called a Preclusive zone because if it is triggered it actually precludes an alarm being generated for that image frame. So motion or other changes that occur in a Preclusive zone will have the effect of ensuring that no alarm occurs at all. The application for this zone type is primarily as a shortcut for detecting general large-scale lighting or other changes. Generally this may be achieved by limiting the maximum number of alarm pixels or other measure in an Active zone. However in some cases that zone may cover an area where the area of variable illumination occurs in different places as the sun and/or shadows move and it thus may be difficult to come up with general values. Additionally, if the sun comes out rapidly then although the initial change may be ignored in this way as the reference image catches up an alarm may ultimately be triggered as the image becomes less different. Using one or more Preclusive zones offers a different approach. Preclusive zones are designed to be fairly small, even just a few pixels across, with quite low alarm thresholds. They should be situated in areas of the image that are less likely to have motion occur such as high on a wall or in a corner. Should a general illumination change occur they would be triggered at least as early as any Active zones and prevent any other zones from generating an alarm. Obviously careful placement is required to ensure that they do not cancel any genuine alarms or that they are not so close together that any motion just hops from one Preclusive zone to another.  Preclusive zones may also be used to reduce processing time by situating one over an Active zone.  The Preclusive zone is processed first; if it is small, and is triggered, the rest of the zone/image will not be processed.
 
   * Inactive
-    Suppresses the detection of motion within it.  This can be layered on top of any other zone type, preventing motion within the Inactive zone from being effective for any other zone type.  Use inactive zones to cover areas in which nothing notable will ever happen or where you get false alarms that don't relate to what you are trying to monitor.  Inactive zones may be overlaid on other zones to blank out areas, and are processed first.  As a general practice, you should try and make zones abut each other instead of overlapping to avoid repeated duplicate processing of the same area.

+
+  * Privacy
+    Blackens the pixels within it. This can be used if you want to hide some regions in the image if the situation does not allow an other solution. This zone type is different to all the others in that it gets processed as soon as possible during capture (even before the timestamp gets into the image) and not in the analyzing process. So if you add, change or delete a Privacy zone, you don't see the changes in the image until the capture process gets restarted. This will be done automatically, but needs a few seconds.
 
 Preset
   The preset chooser sets sensible default values based on computational needs (fast v. best) and sensitivity (low, medium, high.)  It is not required that you select a preset, and you can alter any of the parameters after choosing a preset.  For a small number of monitors with ZoneMinder running on modern equipment, Best, high sensitivity can be chosen as a good starting point.

docs/userguide/filterevents.rst

@@ -184,3 +184,4 @@ If your filter is not working, here are some useful tips:
 * Run ``sudo zmfilter.pl -f <yourfiltername>`` from command line and see the log output
 * Check how long your action is taking - zmfilter.pl will wait for the action to complete before it checks again
 * If you are using relative times like 'now' or '1 year ago' etc. remember that zmfilter converts that relative time to an absolute date only when it reloads filters, which is dictated by the FILTER_RELOAD_DELAY duration. So, for example, if you are wondering why your events are not being detected before intervals of 5 minutes and you have used such a relative condition, this is why
+* In the event that you see your new filter is working great when you try it out from the Web Console (using the Submit or Execute button) but does not seem to work when its running in background mode, you might have just chanced upon a compatibility issue between how Perl and PHP translate free form text to dates/times. When you test it via the "Submit" or "Execute" button, you are invoking a PHP function for time conversion. When the filter runs in background mode, zmfilter.pl calls a perl equivalent function. In some cases, depending on the version of Perl and PHP you have, the results may vary. If you face this situation, the best thing to do is to run ``sudo zmfilter.pl -f <yourfiltername>`` from a terminal to make sure the filter actually works in Perl as well.
