ArloPro Live View After Motion Detection?

DWFoxtrot — Sat, 14 Oct 2017 15:47:24 GMT

So the ArloPro has the ability for two-way communication, but when someone comes to my door, I cannot connect with Live View. I'm guessing it's because it has detected motion and is recording. But what good is live view if you cant connect?!? Am I missing a setting? I feel like I just wasted a few hundred $. I can connect easily to live view when nobody is there. But what good is that? I'm pretty disappointed.

Is that via the app?

DWFoxtrot,

What is preventing you from initiating the live stream? Are you seeing an error message?

This happens when viewing from the app and on-line. If someone comes to my door, the motion detection starts recording. If I try to go to live view to see who it is, after a few seconds of staring at a gray screen I get a message saying "the request timed out". It's not until the motion stops (after the person is gone) that I can go to live view.

My upload is 12.10 MBPS and download is 90.14 MBPS and Ping is 13 ms.

It's as though I can't "cut in" in live view while the camera is recording from motion detection.

I'll check it out later. Previously, people had been cutting into the live feed while it was recording and it cut the recording off, which annoyed people. I wonder if they've tried 'fixing' that and inadvertently broken it.

Those speeds should be well fast enough for the system to function well

DWFoxtrot,

I've tested live streaming while a recording is in progress and successfully interrupted the recording and was able to stream as expected.

What does the signal strength indicator show for this camera? Do you have any other cameras that behave this way?
