Or am I doing something wrong? I set a privacy zone for the corner of the room we usually sit. But when the camera pans to the door about 90-100 degrees away, or anywhere for that matter, the privacy zone goes with it and the door is blocked. It's as if the privacy zone is essentially painting a black bar across the camera lens itself. 

Motion detection is another issue. I set the activity zone to exclude a ceiling fan, but once the camera pans, such as when it detects a person, it's attention is grabbed by the ceiling fan it locks on and never lets go, no matter then motion of any people in the room. 

That makes this camera pretty useless, in my opinio, and no point in keeping it.

Unless again, I am doing something wrong. 

Ok, and now as I go to post, it's wants me enter a model number. My Camera is C217, but according to this site, that model doesn't exist and I had to choose C211.  I don't know enough about the various models to if this is just some variation based on color, etc, but it's not doing much to instill faith in this company or product.
