I have an activity area issue why?

[Jasonrensha]

When I’m researching it states they must be plugged in to set the zone - but does that zone stay after just unplugging ? Can the wireless cameras be set for activity zones? Hard to plug into AC to set a zone outdoors. Our camera sensitivity has been turned way down and still motion alerts for small flowers and sun/shade dappling are triggering the camera alerts. I need to get this fixed. 100s of alerts for smallest motions are draining batteries.

Jasonrensha,

Activity Zones require the camera to be constantly powered with an AC adapter, unless you have an Arlo Secure subscription plan.

I have the same issue, and I DO have a Arlo Secure subscription. I have a wireless Arlo 2 Pro that is not recording activity. I can only view it live. The activity zones are set up, but it keeps saying it cannot record without being plugged in. I have verified that it is on my Arlo Secure subscription.
