Arlo Baby using 2 gigs/data/hour

MavinW — Mon, 05 Oct 2020 14:34:58 GMT

I got a notification from Comcast that I was using near my cap of 1.2 TB of data, which certainly was a surprise.

It looks like even though both of my Arlo Baby cameras are on the same Wifi network as my iPad that we leave running overnight, I am still using tons of data. It seems like with the Arlo and the iPad on the same network, I should be using internal streaming.

How can I force it to be using the internal streaming and not use all my Comcast data? Thanks!

Asus RT‑AC86U

Both the iPad and Arlo Baby are connected to the same 5ghz non-guest network. Rebooted everything, latest app and firmware, etc.

I do not see the home icon prior to starting the stream or any indication I am in local streaming mode. My 2 gigs/hour burn rate also confirms.

HI @MavinW

May I ask if you can provide a screenshot of the missing icon when live streaming?

Also, which version of iOS is installed on your device & what version of the Arlo Mobile App are you using?
