Model: KC200  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 2.3.8

Activity Zones on my device stopped working as intended last week, meaning that I'm receiving notifications for activity outside the designated zones. I've tried deleting & re-adding the zones, unplugging the camera & plugging it back in, and have stopped short of attempting a full factory reset as A] getting up on a ladder right now is inconvenient and B] I'm not sure if that will even fix this issue. I can confirm that the notifications are not due to random insects or shadows or anything else wandering into the zones. Was there a recent firmware update that broke this, and/or is there an upcoming firmware update that will fix this?

@DynaMike Hello, 

 

Thank you for your feedback, may I have a photo of your Activity Zone setting and also a video clip that detects a motion outside the activity zone?

As sound detection will also trigger notifications, you could turn it off or lower sound detection sensitivity when test Motion Detection:

@Solla-topee Attached as requested. As you can see, no shadows or anything else are wandering into the zones. Anyone or anything walking down the sidewalk triggers detection though I specifically exclude the sidewalk (and give myself some extra room just in case). Sound sensitivity is switched off and has never been on, but I checked just in case and confirmed it is still switched off.

@Lauranator Hello, 

May I know the model , firmware  and hardware version of your Kasa camera? 

 

Kasa APP-> click on 3 line on left top--> Settings--> Firmware update, you could check available firmware update there. 

Please always keep Kasa app up to date, when new firmware is released, you will get available firmware, if there is any update on this issue I will also update on this thread.
