Arlo Pro 2 Activity Zones are not working

[Dooleykd]

Hi. I’ve just bought the wireless Arlo Pro 2 cameras. I’ve set up activity zones as the camera at the front of the house was picking up cars driving past.
Now the camera is charged, I’ve unplugged, but it’s saying that activity zones are now disabled. Can you not set activity zones on a wireless camera??
Thanks

You’re trying to use basic activity zones that have a requirement to be plugged in.

You can subscribe to have smart notifications per camera that you initially setup plugged in and unplug.

Be aware that while on battery only, the camera will operate with every motion detected, record to the cloud if within the wanted zone and only notify you for wanted objects.

Hence if you’re getting a lot of activity the camera battery will drain faster and will need recharge more often.

Hi. Thank you for your response. I signed up to Smart, and activity zones are now active when wireless BUT I no longer receive notifications or recordings when there is motion?!! Help!
