Arlo Pro or Pro 2. Will motion-detection keep recording?

nkmi — Thu, 02 Aug 2018 17:48:27 GMT

Hi,

This is for users for Arlo Pro or Pro 2 security cameras.

How sensitive is the motion-detection to continue recording once an initial motion is detected? Let's say you walk across the camera and it starts recording, but then you sit and start watching TV, will it detect the subtle body/head movements (or sound from the TV) and keep on recording, or will it stop?

Or what if you sit and start talking on the phone, will the Arlo detect the normal head movements during a phone call and continue recording until you leave it's zone?

Thank you.

I like to go out on my back porch a lot and talk on my phone so as not to disturb my wife who might be sleeping. I have my cameras set to record for 2 minutes. They will record for that time and if I move a little bit, they will start recording again. Hope that helps.

Hi,

Thank you a lot.

So if you stay still while talking on the phone, does it stop recording after two minutes?

Can you please tell?

Thank you.

Yes, the camera stops recording after 2 minutes. But, it doesn't take too much movement to start it recording again for another 2 minutes. You can disarm the cameras for the time you are outside if you don't want to record the videos.
