Feature Request-Zones? - To reduce false alerts?

danrob — Mon, 03 Oct 2016 02:10:39 GMT

I have an arlo positioned above my front door, exterior. Today has been very windy, and at even 1 percent sensitivity setting, the small plants are registering movement. I have had 20+ alerts in an hour. If I pan and zoomto exlude the plants, I lose the area I want to focus on.

My questions is, can there be a way (in the future) to select 'zones' within the field of vision to either ignore or focus on? I know the 'camio' app does this... Im hoping. Then I could say create a zone for 'front steps' or 'driveway'.

Thanks Arlo Team.

Dan.

Danrob...

I think I know what your trying to do and it won't work... You can pan/zoom the field of view ( what the view of the camera is ), BUT it has NO EFFECT on the motion PIR sensor.... you do not have 'zones' in the PIR, it's either all or nothing.

Tho it might be a good suggestion, it would be more of a hardware change over a s/w change.
