How do I set up area masking like I can in my Ring app?

I can locate an area masking feature in the Arlo app. I keep getting movement alerts every two minutes from a tree which leaves sway in the wind. I installed the Arlo system today, but had to shut off the camera to stop the alerts.

You can always turn off notifications if they bother you so much. However, you can't zone Pro cameras like you can with Q cameras since the Pro uses a PIR sensor. It would be better, if possible, to aim the camera so the tree isn't in view and/or use the sensitivity setting so windy days don't trigger as much. You could also try masking the PIR sensor to block the tree from being detected.
