Activity Zones

Some high-end smart security cams, including models in our store, have what are called “activity zones” or “detection zones” that allow you to set motion sensors to pay specific attention to certain spots, and less attention to others. This is handy if you want the motion sensors to pay less attention to tree limbs off to the side, and more attention to the front sidewalk – or any other target.

Apple is now making a huge leap by offering activity zones via the Home app.

First, that means that you can use the Home app to set activity zones instead of the security cam app (or just pick which one you like better). Second, this feature appears to work with all HomeKit security cams, whether or not they have activity zones of their own, providing a massive cam upgrade for free.
