topic Simultaneous scheduling and longer video record time in Arlo Pro 4

Simultaneous scheduling and longer video record time

BarkingOwl — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 22:39:29 GMT

Hi all,

I have Arlo Pro 3 floodlight and Arlo Pro 4 cameras.

I have read all the forums to solve my question without luck.

I would like the cameras to only be active between 7pm and 7am (which I can set up with a schedule) but also increase the recording duration to be greater than 10 seconds.

In my trials I can only seem to do one (schedule) or the other (longer recording time and camera permanently armed.)

Am I able to have both options at once? The 10 second default record time seems a bit too short for my needs.

I have read article Article ID: 1079027 (How do I adjust Arlo video recording length?) but this does not allow for a schedule.

Thank you.

First you edit (or create) modes that has the recording length setting you want.

Then you schedule those modes. https://kb.arlo.com/4900/How-can-I-set-a-schedule-for-my-camera-in-my-Arlo-account

Thank you. I dont see an option how to schedule the modes? There is only the option to use the user defined mode, or a schedule option? Could you please clarify?

if you choose "schedule", you'll find that it schedules modes, not cameras. That includes user-defined modes.
