Motion detection

Bb_West — Sat, 09 Jan 2021 00:30:25 GMT

They say there is nothing called a silly question, but....

On the Arlo app Devices Page under the Live Camera Feed, there are four icons.

Battery, wi-fi signal, audio detection and Motion detection.

On my app, the the battery, wifi and motion is "black" but not greyed out
The audio is greyed out.

Occasional the Motion detection turns yellow.

Is the Motion detection supposed to be constantly yellow, or is the "black" normal ?

Thanks

Thank you for your reply.

An observation though, if I select All Other Audio in Smart Alerts, the amber light on the Audio is constant on.

Would have thought the same would be the case for Motion.

Thank you

You could change the audio detection sensitivity in your modes and rules to see if that helps. Are you getting lots of videos labeled as audio detection?

I have googled and you tubed and Arlo community forms and I can’t seem to find anything about the Arlo app icons being WHITE. I think I know the gray icon color, I know the orange color icon. I do NOT understand what is considered a BLACK icon. My icons are WHITE or GRAY (unless my GRAY icon is actually considered BLACK)

I have I’ll attach a pic if you can assist me I would appreciate your time.

S1L3NT,

The icons showing white for you are considered black (you have dark mode enabled reversing the color scheme).

For more information, take a look here: What do the icons in the Arlo app mean?
