Camera Object Name

How do I reset or clear the last object detected by the camera?
The $CameraObjectName variable stays set to the last object detected. This means even when no object is detected or recognised, my script executes incorrectly - instead of saying object not recognised..

I believe it is just a global variable so maybe you can just "zero" it out after detection?...

Code:

$object = $CameraObjectName 


$CameraObjectName  = ""

Don’t reset the variable. Instead check if there’s a detection. Then check the tracking type that’s detected, if there’s more than one tracking type.

I didn't realise one could change these global variables within script. Setting their value to null after tracking ends solved my problem. Thanks.
