Arlo 3 floodlight is annoying with their useless notifications just because a car pass by or a leaf hits the camera. I have the Zone set yet it catches cars outside the Zone. They need to have the camera detect people like Doorbells, otherwise it's useless. Because of how many notifications you stop checking them!!

 

Another problem is the integration with 3rd party Smart Home apps like Samsung & Google.

 

They push us to use Smart Home apps and half the products aren't supported. I think these 2 floodlights are my last Arlos.

Don't forget that strong IR reflections from sources like the sun can make it appear that motion happened inside the zone. Reducing the motion sensitivity in your modes and rules should help a lot.
