Question

So new Arlo Pro 3 4 camera system. Setup with the 3 month smart plan trial and activity zones do not seem to work. I constantly am bombarded with motion alerts outside of the zones. Any ideas what is going on here?  

Answer 1

Same with the pro 2s.  

Answer 2

I'm wondering if this is a widespread issue that has come up in the last few days

Answer 3

Same issue here! I have a case created and hope to hear from them within 48 hrs

Answer 4

Do you have your cameras plugged into a power source?

@vickers with activity zones, you are supposed to have the camera plugged in.

You do not need to with a paid plan

@vickers if you magically know the answer why are you asking for advise? I've had my arlos for 2 years. If you want your activity zones to work better, plug them in

---

@lesseps McCulogh cause it is supposeed to work with the plan. It's listed in what the plan adds. If you read the post, the poplem. is that it is not working on the plan, on battery, I do not know the fix.

@vickers once again PLUG THE DAMN CAMERA IN INSTEAD OF FIGHTING EVERYONE ON IT.  

Answer 5

I have the ARLO Pro2s, The only way for me to see the activity zone icon is have them on AC Power.

@softfinned I know that the pro 3 should work on battery with smart plan

@vickers Thanks, It is good know.

@softfinned I have the pro2s and use activity zones with the subscription just fine. And they arent plugged in.  

---

@lanettelaney mine worked fine to till I canceled the subscription.  

---

@peddling41387 You need a subscription to do wireless activity zones

@vickers well that's dumb.
