Hi,
Why the "Mute notifications" item is only 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours. and 24 hours.
It takes 6 hours. and 8 hours
Thank you

Vitanas,

At this time, mute notifications does not include an option for 6 or 8 hours. For more information on the mute notifications feature and how to enable it, take a look here: How to Mute Arlo Notifications

I will pass your feedback requesting 6 and 8 hours along to the development team for consideration.

PLEASE allow an 8 or 9 hour option for the mute notifications function! We have these at a business and they're constantly going off throughout the day, and currently the only option is to keep muting for 3 hours OR mute for 24 hours and try to remember to unmute at the end of the business day. Just give us an 8 or 9 hour option, PLEASE.

There's another option.

Create a custom mode that has rules for each camera that leave out the notification step. Then create a schedule to automatically use the mode when the business is open.

A variation is to use geofencing instead of a schedule - automatically turning off the notifications when you are at the business. https://kb.arlo.com/1085093/How-does-Arlo-Geofencing-work-and-how-do-I-set-it-up
