JamesC,
I find that I can enable People, Vehicles & Animals for the Doorbell Camera, in Arlo Smart, and none of those will be detected (or notifications sent) unless they're within the Activity Zone that I have set...that's good!
However if I enable All Other Motion, in Arlo Smart), it then detects any movement within the field of view (including outside of the Activity Zone), records it to the library/cloud and sends a notification...not good!
Note that my Doorbell Camera is not connected through my Base but rather direct via my WiFi and that the doorbell was installed first, prior to the rest of the system.
Also note that from the time of install, in June, with the same parameters set (All Other Motion was not set) the Doorbell had also been recording (to the cloud/library) any movement outside of the Activity Zone but without sending a notification...however that changed two days ago when I removed & reinstalled the Doorbell Camera (I was testing some other issues) and that phantom recording stopped and I have not since been able to recreate that unusual scenario but it still detects, records & notifies any movement outside of the Activity Zone if I set All Other Motion in Arlo Smart.

Darkmatter83,
Were you replying to James or to the post that I addressed to James about NOT setting the All Other Motion in Arlo Smart?

Not a problem...I just hope that James or some other moderator picks up on this so that they can fix it so that it pertains to motion ONLY within the Activity Zone(s). After all they have stated that they are continuing to monitor this issue.
And this line is for Arlo...YOU'RE WELCOME ARLO 😁

I had to reduce the sensitivity to 30% to reduce the number of false positives (cars driving by).
Unfortunately for me it would be expensive to replace with another brand, but going forward when it’s time to upgrade for sure I won’t buy Arlo anymore.

Haha I fixed the problem by switching to ring. Their software and capabilities are way beyond what Arlo can do. I almost never mess with my settings anymore, It's much better
Lol, good luck with that one. I got Ring right now. It loves my car lights and the lens flair that they cause (lights not even physically in the Zone mapping). My Ring also loves spider webs blowing across the camera at night. It also loves quick cloud covering over the sun, sees it as motion.
Oh, and good luck with the delayed notifications to your phones. All of these video doorbell companies really do suck in more ways than one. The only thing you can really do is make your own reliable system.
Buy a button, buy a camera, link them together, connect to a local wifi via Raspberry PI, and there you have it. Make an app for your phone with the many tools out there. Now your only point of failure for these important phone notifications would be either your home internet, or your phone's internet. No more trusting a 3rd party with this critical information.
Where's the free opensource doorbell camera software? And the free opensource phone app? Why haven't the software gurus in the world made it yet? LibreDoorBell?

Here's something that is easy to overlook, after you set activity zone hit the "save" button. I've been frustrate, with other features, because I forget to hit save. May not work, but worth a shot.
