Motion Detection zones

I've had the Arlo Pro for about a week now and so far think its great.  However, i'd like to see some enhancements to the camera motion detection.

If possible, would there be an option to setup zones on each camera where the motion detection sensitivity can be adjusted differently to the rest of the camera.  For example, if you have a camera which is pointing down at 45 degrees but capturing an area up to 10m away.  Perhaps the motion detection sensitivity can be turned up for the area that is further away from the camera, and turned down for the area closer to the camera.

Prob not possible as the PIR device that detects motion covers the entire field of view ( hardware issue )

Unlike the Q which can have zones as it uses pixel change for detection

Ahh, thats a shame if thats true.  So setting the sensitivity for the camera on the app adjusts the whole PIR sensitivity?  I was kinda hoping it might be a software thing that could've been added later.

yes , the PIR detects the entire FOV even if you shrink the view ( pan/zoom )

But sometimes this can be used to your advantage..
