Arlo Essentials Generation 2 Camera Software

I am beyond frustrated. I’ve been trying to program my camera routines by setting them to go into Arm at 9am and Standby at 6am. But it doesn’t always work and it isn’t recording anything even though the button says to program.

Ice6576,

Which Arm rule are you using? Arm Home and Arm Away will behave differently depending on what rules are contained in each.

I am using the Automations. I have a schedule to Standby at 6am in the morning with no videos. I also have an Arm that is set for 9am with rules to video on all cameras.

Sometimes it works and will arm itself. Other times the arm stays on and doesn’t click over. Also I am not always getting any notifications or videos. I’ve had my IT guys look at this and they said there is no reason the software shouldn’t working the way it is set up.
