Quick question: I have the essential video doorbell wire free. After losing internet connection my doorbell will not work with my activity zones. I reset it then deleted it and reinstalled it. Set the zones up again and nothing. I changed the sensitivity to the highest and it still will not be pick anything up. Any suggestions?

Does it save motion recordings without the zones?

Yes it does.

That means the camera/doorbell itself is working.  The activity zone processing is done in the Arlo cloud.

 

Can you try creating a large zone?  One nearly the full size of the camera field of view.  Then see if that also works.

Thanks, I did try that.  AZ still not working.  You need to be almost right in front of the camera for it to pick up and start recording.  I followed all the steps from Arlo CS, boy it is a tad painfull working with CS at Arlo.  Tried to update my case would not allow me to upload the docs they wanted.  Hoping to get to a tier 2 so I can get this figured out.
