  Or only alert when they cross the proximity threshold?  If prev position
is outside, and current position is inside then alert, else quiet.  This
algorithm would automatically exempt non-moving objects.  No
cache, no timeouts.  Just using the data already at hand.
  A separate test could be made for objects leaving the proximity, which
might play a short clip from 'American Pie'  ;-)  Some might choose the
'open door/close door' audio clips from the AOL IM client...
