A: Activity zones reduce motion notifications in selected areas but still record if motion occurs, while privacy zones completely prevent recording in those areas.

A: On the Activity Zones screen, tap Update Photo to refresh the thumbnail image so your zone settings are accurate to the current camera view.

Q: What happens when you deactivate a zone on a Blink camera?
