Activity zones doesn't work if set to trigger spot light...
basically my camera is set up with activity zone that it will record and send signal to spot light only when someone is within activity zone! What happens is when someone being outside activity zone passes camera, it works as it supposed to and doesn't record but then it still sends signal to spot light to turn on! Hope for soon fix

If I understand correctly, you misunderstand how Smart works. The camera still records (hence the spotlight turning on) but the servers post-process the video to determine whether to alert you as well as whether to place the video in the library. Using Smart ALWAYS records and the servers determine the ultimate actions.

So whats the point of activity zones then ? They work to record or not in cameras but doesn't work when signal is sent to spot light... person detected outside activity zone and spotlight turn on !
