I set it up a few days ago and it seems to work ok except for a couple of issues. First, I set smart notifications to just people, but I’m seeing recording in my library of vehicles as well.</P><P>secondly, and more concerning is I got an alert that it detected a person. When I went to the library to view it, the video was over 5 minutes long and there were no people in it. Obviously this isn’t great for the battery. Is there some setting I haven’t activated to prevent these long recordings? Thanks</P> Sat, 16 Jul 2022 03:17:11 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Essential-Wire-Free-Cameras/Long-recording/m-p/1870703#M5122 Mwuich 2022-07-16T03:17:11Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Essential-Wire-Free-Cameras/Long-recording/m-p/1870719#M5123 <BLOCKQUOTE><HR /><a href="https://community.arlo.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/874539">@Mwuich</a>&nbsp;wrote:<BR /> <P>Is there some setting I haven’t activated to prevent these long recordings?
