I’m trying to limit notifications to when someone comes on my property. With the fisheye lens it’s tough to do with rectangles.

 

Side note, it’s hard to fine tune the activity zone corners on mobile.

refried,

 

Depending on which model Arlo device you're using, Square/Rectangle activity zones are all that is available. You may need to create multiple activity zones to get the desired coverage.

I have multiple zones but haven’t been successful, and have had a hard time even telling what’s going on. Is there a way to tell which zone is being triggered for a particular trigger?

When setting up the activity zones, you want the objects to be detected and notifications sent within the zone and objects you do not want to be detected outside of the zones.

No, unfortunately there is not.

Is the issue that you are getting alerts/recordings you don't want? 

Or is that you are not getting alerts/recordings that you expect?

 

Have you tried just one zone (not covering the entire area of interest)?  That might help with troubleshooting.
