Activity Zones for Essential Spotlight camera

DHarris202 — Tue, 01 Aug 2023 01:44:55 GMT

I’m moving on from my Pro2/Base Hub cameras and bought an Essential Spotlight camera to try out connecting directly to Wi-Fi. I have an Arlo Secure plan as well.

Apparently the Activity Zone for this model still is just a rectangle, which makes it almost impossible to adequately cover my driveway area.

Can you please advise which Arlo camera models support Activity Zones with multiple grab points?

Thanks.

Ultra, Ultra 2, Pro 3, Pro 4, Pro 5, Pro 3 Floodlight are all capable of multi-point activity zones.

You can of course set up multiple zones.

The polygon zone is a convenience, but in practice the system isn't that precise at the zone edges anyway. So multiple rectangles is usually good enough.
