How to set motion detection zones on Arlo Pro

 

Setting Up Motion Detection Zones for Arlo Pro

 

  • Before setting motion detection zones, make sure your Arlo Pro camera is properly installed and synced with your Arlo account. This ensures everything works smoothly.
  •  

  • Open the Arlo app on your smartphone or access the Arlo website on your computer and log in to your account.
  •  

  • Select the camera you wish to customize. Once selected, proceed to the settings menu for that specific camera.
  •  

  • Within the settings menu, locate the option for "Motion Settings." This is where you can tailor how your Arlo Pro detects movement.
  •  

  • Find and click on "Create Motion Zones." This option allows you to define specific areas for motion detection.
  •  

  • On the motion zone screen, you’ll see a live view from your camera. Use this to draw rectangles over the areas you want to monitor. These rectangles define your motion zones.
  •  

  • Adjust the size and position of these rectangles by dragging their corners. Customize them until the desired area is covered.
  •  

  • Remember to check the sensitivity settings after setting up motion zones. Adjust these settings to avoid unnecessary alerts from movements like shadows or small animals.
  •  

  • Once you're satisfied with your settings, save the changes. This ensures your Arlo Pro camera only monitors motion within your defined zones.
  •  

  • Test the motion detection by moving within the zones and ensuring your camera sends alerts correctly.

 

Troubleshooting Motion Detection Zones

 

  • If your Arlo Pro is not detecting motion as expected, revisit the motion detection zone settings and ensure they are properly defined and saved.
  •  

  • Check your camera’s battery level, as sometimes low power can affect performance.
  •  

  • Ensure that your camera has the latest firmware updates to benefit from improved features and bugs fixes, which may affect zone functionality.
  •  

  • Consult the Arlo user manual or support for your specific camera model for additional troubleshooting steps.
  •  

  • Consider resetting your settings to default and redoing the motion zones. Sometimes a restart can fix detection issues.
