Melde ungewöhnliche Aktivität.
The noun must be plural to match ‘ungewöhnliche’: ‘Aktivitäten’.

Cultural Tip
German imperatives can sound very direct. In a formal or professional setting it is common to soften the command with ‘Bitte’ or to use the Sie‑form: ‘Bitte melden Sie…’. Also, ‘Aktivität’ often refers to a specific action; for a more neutral term you can use ‘Vorgang’ or ‘Ereignis’.
