Review-Frigate-09-29-2024_01_07_PM2 Describe what you are trying to accomplish and why in non technical terms In 13 detected events were pretty straigthforward with its own 'events page'. Now 14 introduces "(default) alerts" and "(not alerts in) detections". AFAIU now it's a 2 tiered detection UI. Is this special distinction necessary? To me It required read documentation to get it.

Describe the solution you'd like Perhaps revert back to "all detections" & introduce "custom detection groups (based on filters)"? Current alerts could be a custom detection group with a car and person filter. Yet flexible enough for me to create my own detection groups that show in the UI too.

Describe alternatives you've considered None

Additional context At first I felt like I was missing detections, but they were on a detections "tab", then i had to research what alerts were... And to see all detections now I have to filter them... not ideal.

These custom detection groups could be unlimited, and with any name.
