I have drawn the neighbors driveway in yellow.
This is a 2C pro camera. It’s mounted about 15 feet high. Detection range is about 50 feet so it was picking up everything on the neighbors driveway side. Set up the zones (see the picture), and I am no longer detecting the neighbors which is good.

Is there any difference between leaving the activity zones in default and setting up 1 big zone all over the screen if I want to get notified about any move on the screen?
Great idea about the tape or something similar…I basically get recording everytime a car drives by above my activity zones for my parking. I have just been turning motion detection off during the day…I will try some silicon tape …btw I have the floodlight cam.
Guessing this is not fixed yet? 2c pro cams detecting all motion despite activity zones explicitly excluding a big part of field of view.
Shocking this has been a long running issue. Eufy must know the activity zone are not working and have ignored it for some 18 months now I assume.

Same issues here. Activity zones are a struggle and the boxes of zones are very limited, they need to have more fine tuning in them. Need to be able to create angles and such. Making it an 8 or 10 point box would help greatly.

Welp, just dug this up since I just bought the doorbell and having the same issue of activity zones not working. Basically have to turn the sensitivity down to 3 to prevent detection in the areas I don’t want, as the zones do nothing. I had wanted to just cut off the top section of the camera view which is the street and leave sensitivity a little higher for all motion in front of the door but it just doesn’t work. A car passing by outside of the zone will still trigger it.
Yeah this is still not working for the Eufy Doorbell. My camera still picks up cars outside of the activity zone.
Can’t believe this is still not fixed…
Unbelievable, especially for such a glaring, obvious fault in a major product feature. Takes away credibility from the other good parts!
Both brand new Floodlight Cam 2K’s I’m testing simply ignore all Activity Zones. This is with All Motion, default medium Sensitivity.
Changing to Human Only detection or lowering Sensitivity can’t be the final solutions.
Please fix completely, thank you.

I’ve contacted their tech support and the craziest thing that they recommended was to buy another wedge to cut out the zone that you don’t want. Other than that, they suggested lowering sensitivity which I responded to them that it doesn’t make sense as the Activity Zone should trump sensitivity. Human Only detection does not work for me because it sometimes doesn’t capture my mailman (bad algorithm). I have other cameras that even highlight which parts of the screen are moving.

I have complained about this before as well. It just flat out does nothing. Biggest problem I am having with the whole thing now is the battery life. There are so many filtered events that im losing 20% battery in 12 hours. Its insane.

Well - the same problem exists in April of 2022. I’ve drawn and re-drawn and it routinely picks up things that never cross into the activity zone.
Still have issues June 2022. I have activity zones and i have human detection only. I have pan and tilt cam for inside my Appartment. It picks up my anime figures are people breaking in to my home even though they aren’t moving and they are out of the activity zone.
I can’t believe that I still have the exact same issue in 2022. I didn’t see anyone from eufy replied to any post here.
