Motion/Audio Alerts and Recording Turn Off Automatically

jmw08 — Wed, 22 Apr 2020 19:52:42 GMT

I have a brand new Baby Arlo which is pointed at the crib next to our bed. We turn off the camera via app whenever the toddler is not sleeping for privacy as others can view the camera whenever it's on. However, whenever we turn the camera back on the Motion Audio alerts along with Video record default to "off" for some reason. I can't seem to find figure out why or if I missed a setting somewhere.

Camera firmware: 1.9.9.0_808

IOS app version: 2.15 (417)

Thank you!

Hi @jmw08

How much time between the off/on period? Does this issue occur 100% of the time when disabling the camera within the app?

Hi Shayne - I found a fix for my issue. I needed to enable "Monitoring on" in the Mode menu then adjust the Rules to how I want the alerts to behave. Apparently, whatever is set inside this menu makes it the global default.
