There are several routes you can take when it comes to your camera picking up too much activity. Activity Zones, Motion Sensitivity and Camera placement are the three areas I would encourage you to focus on while tuning your camera to fit your needs. The following articles should give you an idea of how to make these adjustments within your camera settings:

 

Activity Zones: https://kb.arlo.com/000062938

Motion Sensitivity: https://kb.arlo.com/000062895/How-do-I-change-the-motion-sensitivity-on-my-Arlo-camera-Arlo-Secure-4...

Camera placement: https://kb.arlo.com/37/Arlo-Camera-Placement-Tips

 

Depending on your environment it may take some trial and error to dial in the settings so that the camera is detecting as desired.

 

With the new user experience, the location of some features within the app has changed, for more information about how modes and rules are now organized, see here: https://kb.arlo.com/000062777/About-Arlo-Routines-Modes-Rules-and-Automations
