It takes a few seconds to walk up the stairs to the camera, so the Arlo will have a few seconds to react and start recording, but does it start recording to a file real-time, or does it have to finish the pre-defined length of recording before it starts uploading to the cloud/drive? I'm assuming it's the latter, in which case it will probably not have enough time to upload a thief?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>How concerned should I be of people walking up and stealing it from the magnetic mount in a quiet neighborbood but with a growing theft rate?</P> Sat, 07 Oct 2017 09:02:37 GMT Biomanz 2017-10-07T09:02:37Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro/How-long-to-record-upload-a-clip-if-stolen/m-p/1388020#M22941 <P>In the event someone walks up and steals the Arlo Pro from the magnetic mount and runs off, will any recording still be uploaded to the cloud or connected hard drive?
