Customizable motion zones

Reviewers appreciate that customizable motion zones let them carve out busy areas like streets or neighboring yards so the camera focuses alerts on their own driveway and front door, filtering out distractions such as passing cars or constantly waving flags that would otherwise trigger unnecessary recordings, and they note that the roughly 120-degree field of view and up to 40 feet of range give plenty of flexibility when shaping these zones.

Owners use the app to draw custom activity zones and selectively enable person or motion alerts so passing cars and distant movement do not constantly trigger notifications.

Reviewers like the six point activity zone tool in the app, which lets you drag points around the image to limit motion triggers to key areas and avoid recording unimportant background movement.

Activity zones and per-camera rules let owners tailor which parts of the yard or driveway trigger alerts, helping cut down on unnecessary notifications once dialed in.

Reviews appreciate that customizable motion zones on the MagCam let owners draw out busy areas and even filter zones by detection type so alerts concentrate on relevant movement.

Reviews praise how easy it is to draw motion zones and tweak sensitivity so the Argus 4 Pro focuses on important areas while ignoring less relevant parts of the scene, and this review adds that users can separately customize zones, sensitivity, object-size filters, and schedules for each smart detection type to better control alert volume.

Tapo’s app lets owners draw up to eight separate activity zones and even assign different regions for motion, person, pet and vehicle detection, so this reviewer was able to focus alerts on key paths in the yard while ignoring more distant areas.
