How do I define the boundary?
My camera is 30 feet from the sidewalk. I need to include our automobile in the activity zone, which is parked in the driveway, about six feet back from the sidewalk. I have tried several times to adjust the activity zone's range on my laptop, but the screen does not show the boundary when I try to define it. I have run down the battery twice already because every time a pedestrian walks by, it triggers my camera and I cannot seem to change the activity range! I just need to record when someone walks over to my car. Am I supposed to see the boundary on my computer screen, so I can drag and adjust it? Help, please! And, thanks.

While activity zones will limit the number of recordings in your library, motion that occurs outside the zone will still be detected and cause a trigger. For activity zones to work, motion must be detected and analyzed by the cloud to determine whether it occurred within the zone. If the motion was outside the zone, the recording is discarded and will not appear in your library. When your camera is triggered by activity inside or outside the activity zone, this consumes battery life. Repositioning your camera or adjusting sensitivity may be needed to reduce battery consumption.

When creating activity zones from a PC, navigate to Settings > My Devices > select the desired Arlo device > Video Settings > Create New Zone> drag the green box to create the desired activity zone
