Right now there is no ability to rotate activity zones or use a different shape than a rectangle.  It is quite frustrating to use because I am pretty sure nobody has an exact rectangle they are wanting to monitor.  Especially with the way lenses and and angles work, to cover my driveway I really need a trapezoid (or at the very least, a rotated rectangle).  The current solution of using lots of little squares/rectangles to cover an area is absurd.  See the attached picture of how I have it currently set up and notice it still can't cover the entire driveway!  I don't want to do larger rectangles because then I pick up my neighbor's driveway or the street and I don't want a notification every time a random car drives by or my neighbor leaves for work.  I can't believe this isn't already a functionality and I really think Arlo should prioritize this software upgrade.  Surely it would help server load because I would only be using one shape rather than 5 to track activity?
