Recently installed wired video doorbell, and am ready to remove and return it.  Regardless of internal settings made in the device, my cellphone is being bombarded with ‘events’. Every vehicle that drives in front of the house generates an event, despite the fact the street is over 50 feet away. 

Also, I found a way to delete all events in one step, but that option is no longer available.

 

Any suggestions as to how to eliminate vehicles and animals from generating an event would be much appreciated. 

Thank you.

Cossogno,

 

You might consider lowering the sensitivity of the doorbell if it's facing an area with high activity. Take a look here for more information on how to do this: https://kb.arlo.com/000062895/How-do-I-change-the-motion-sensitivity-on-my-Arlo-camera-Arlo-Secure-4...

 

Additionally, you could also add activity zones to reduce motion detection to specific desired areas within the cameras field of view. To set these up, see here: https://kb.arlo.com/000062938/What-are-Arlo-Activity-Zones-and-how-do-I-create-them-Arlo-Secure-4-0

 

To mass select and delete, tap the 3 dots symbol in the upper right had corner of your Feeds and select manage events. From there, you can select entire days for deletion, or multiple individual events. If you would like to delete your entire feed, you can do this from Settings > Data Privacy > Content > Erase Arlo Cloud
