Diagonal lines on zone

Turrash — Sun, 08 Jan 2017 20:58:05 GMT

I have a camera to record the front of my house and the front yard. The yard is somewhat diagonal and I can't seem to get Arlo to create a diagonal line for a zone, just squares. This means I have to create multiple squares to cover my entire yard. Am I missing something or is this just not an option for the cameras?

Thanks!

If you are running the Arlo PRO, there are no zone settings...It uses a dual PIR to sense the entire field of view.

Zone settings are available with the Q cameras

And, assuming that you're using a Q, yes, you need to define various rectangles to create the overall diagonal zone for your view. They can overlap and be moved around to accomplish this. Be sure to select all of the appropriate zones in your modes/rules to take advantage of this.
