Alerts for motion and audio enabled on their own? Have to keep turning them off. How to stop?

acich — Tue, 11 May 2021 18:41:09 GMT

Beginning on May 5th, the alerts for the motion being detected and audio triggered alerts, have been enabled on their own. I keep turning these alerts off and within hours the alerts are back on. We have 2 Arlo Baby cameras and it is happening for both. How do I stop these alerts from turning on? Both of my children move A LOT, so we are constantly receiving alerts that motion has been detected.

Hi acich,

Have you tried power cycling your Arlo Baby to see if that might help? You can read here to learn how: How do I power cycle my Arlo Baby camera?

This has been happening to us since around the same time. I can’t see how the power cycling suggestion will work as we turn off our Arlo Baby between uses.

The setting have always stuck, ever since we got it. Now they just keep resetting to defaults.

Same issue here. Arlo... Sort it out.

I ended up restarting the devices from within the app. It seemed to work.

Power cycling or restarting the device within the app make no difference to my problem. I didn’t think they would because I turn the camera off between uses. I’ll just contact support, as suggested, but I can’t help but think it’s a bigger problem and people aren’t realising because they don’t adjust the motion and audio settings. I’ve got another Arlo ready for our newborn, I haven’t opened the box yet and if this doesn’t get resolved it will be going straight back to Amazon.
