I like that the cameras have a feature of setting Activity Zones however, it isn't much use as the ceiling area is never a square or rectangle.
I installed a ring doorbell for my parents and setting their activity zones were much better. Instead of only having 4 corners to crop viewing areas, the ring was able to adjust the area in different angles. The problem I have with Arlo is that, in order to view my entire driveway, I have to include the street as well and I want to avoid traffic but not give up half my driveway if that makes any sense.

While more points of adjustment would be preferred (the Ultra cameras have this feature), don't forget that people motion can only be detected out to ~25 feet so reducing the size/position of the zone to eliminate the street seems possible.
