Arlo pro 2 - motion zones

Will pro 2 ever get motion zones without being plugged in? My biggest complaint with these. Anyone know if this is on the roadmap?

Prob not...zones required to much battery power which is why the P2 needs to be plugged into ac

My active zones work randomly, so while on paper its a nice feature in practice it has issues in when to work, I can walk right through a zone without a trigger, other times it will pick up outside the zones other times it will trigger but no video comes through.

I would tend to disagree. The sensor is looking for motion across the entire FOV as it is now. Reducing that to a limited area and eliminating so many false positives would actually extend battery life.

Its pretty poor that you can’t have include/exclude zones on an expensive camera.

Other than that im happy with them. Rock solid connectivity. New app update sucks. Don’t do it.
