New app too hard to just look at cameras

like the old app. all I want is cameras, no security junk. I have that separately. it's too hard to just look at cameras. there is no device positioning part of the app.
it made me update the app and it stinks. just plain awful as a camera app.

KenW1011,

You can view all of your cameras easily from the devices tab. Alternatively, you can customize the dashboard to show only devices that you want to see, this allows more flexibility for you to prioritize and organize the most important devices on your account.

For more information on how to set up the dashboard, see here: https://kb.arlo.com/000062915/What-is-the-Dashboard-on-my-Arlo-Secure-App-and-how-does-it-work

I just bought the indoor cameras and video doorbell. I want to have the cameras record on motion, but not send notifications of motion nor of person detection. I just want it to record so I can come back and ever later if I choose to. How can I do that?

Edit your modes and rules in Routines. Each rule has a Notification selection where you can enable or disable them per device.
