Hey guys! Just wondering if anyone can help me with a question about activity zones on my Arlo Pro 2.
I have it on the front of my house, covering my front door, my driveway, and a portion of the sidewalk/ street. It’s plugged in at all times.
I’m just wondering if I can set up an activity zone to cover only my front door, and send alerts to my phone, but also record all other activity outside of the zone without any alerts?
Thanks so much!

Unfortunately no. It does sound like a good idea though.

If I understand your situation, I believe it can be done...in a fashion.
Right now you only get alerts within your activity zone, correct? Nothing else alerts you.
All you need to do is plug a USB drive into your base station. This will record ALL videos here, as they are in the cloud. Arlo's cloud simply reviews all your captured videos and sends only the ones within your activity zone. You will need to pull your USB drive out and view the videos on your laptop though, a bit of a pain, but at least they are there. This is what I have done.
