A possible solution for this is to use longer recording times so detection isn't required.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>The Q camera is constantly streaming and live view doesn't time out unless the connection is somehow broken.</P> Tue, 22 Mar 2016 12:34:17 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Features/Record-24-7/m-p/1064668#M5699 jguerdat 2016-03-22T12:34:17Z
