Camera activity zones not detecting motion correctly
Activity zones need to be set up correctly in your camera app. Open the app, go to Activity Zones, and make sure you've drawn the zones to cover exactly the areas you want to ignore. The zones sometimes don't save properly — try deleting and redrawing them, then turn off notifications for outside the zones to double-check they're working.
Activity zones let you tell the camera which parts of the view to watch and which to ignore. Drawing the zones is one step, but you also need to tell the app which zone receives alerts. If you get alerts from areas you thought you excluded, the zone probably wasn't drawn quite right or didn't save. Redrawing it is faster than troubleshooting.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Drawing activity zones but forgetting to disable notifications for them — the zones exist but the app still alerts you
- Drawing a zone that's too small and doesn't cover the whole problem area — redraw it larger
- Not realizing smart filtering or AI detection is overriding the zones — turn it off to test if that's the issue
Signs you need professional help
- You've created zones, disabled alerts for them, and tested but still get alerts from those areas
- Activity zones worked before but stopped working after a camera app update
- Uninstalling and reinstalling the app didn't fix the problem
