Hello!

Is it possible only sent out a notification if the motion detection last for more than 3-4 seconds.

If a bird flying by for 1sec, i don't wont to get notified. Thats a false alarm.

You can reduce the motion sensitivity in the mode camera rules at the risk of reducing detection distance.
Alternatively you can use smart plan to filter event types at a cost.

Thank you!

I will try the smart with AI. With the detection of people only.

Hi!

I noticed that the Activity Zone doesen't work anymore after im subscribing the arlo smart.

It worked before. "using battery"

You need to have power applied to the camera to setup the smart activity zones, then you can disconnect and they should still be active.
Hope this helps.

Ok, thank you!

Another question now when i have the arlo smart. I have only selected "people" for detection. But just recently i got a notification and a video that detected a cat that walked by.

Forgot to mention that it aslo was identified as a "animal" in the video.

I don’t have an answer but have a read of the FAQs.

Yes, have done that.

I will see what happens. If it's still detects animals i guess i contact Arlo chat or something.

Thanks!
