Person Recognition

It would be a nice feature to limit recordings of recognized faces. For example, when at home, I don't need to see that I'm walking to and from my car or that my cat is following me. By disabling this recording type, we can focus more on the things that the camera purchase was for.

Hi @KatsuCoCo

If it helps, you can turn off person recognition or remove it from a specific device. You can find the option under Arlo Intelligence > Person recognition?

I think @KatsuCoCo is wanting something different - wanting to use the person recognition feature to suppress recordings/notifications of known people, instead of just tagging them. But still recording unknown people.

Hi All. That's exactly what I'm hoping to do. There's no point in recording people I know are safe. I just want to reduce the number of recordings coming through.

I see, that feature is currently not available at this time.

I will add this to our feature requests for future consideration.
