How can I set my Pro camera so it only triggers when there is movement within the area I want?

I cannot change the field of view on my Arlo Pro camera. When I go into the app, I know how to zoom the view but when something moves outside the zoom but within the normal view, the camera still goes off. How can I set my camera so it only triggers when there is movement within the area I want (a portion of normal view)?

It's not the app. You either need to have the cameras plugged into AC power or subscribe to Arlo Smart.

Basically you can't... unless you are using zones.

 

When the camera's picture is pan/zoomed smaller the PIR that detects motion still covers the entire original FOV.

Thank you for replying.

Is there a way to do zones? I’m sure that the old legacy app had a feature to do it. Not sure why they would reduce options and give us less choice with the new app.
