Arlo Pro 4/VMB 5000 Blue LED

New to Arlo.

I plan to keep the camera plugged in full time. When it reaches 100% charge the blue LED comes on and stays on.

Supposedly there is a setting under the device configuration to turn the LED off when fully charged. It's nowhere that I can find, either on the iOS Arlo app or on the web. Where is it?

Never mind, I found it.

Arlo sure likes to hide settings in the app. Still haven't found the setting for Smart Detection.

Do you see "Feed' in the main menu? Or "Library"?

You are looking for "smart notifications", not "smart detection".

Since you likely have the new interface, it's in Settings ("person" icon top left), Home, Smart Notifications. Basically the same place it was in the old interface. It's quite ok to browse through the whole app to see where things are and how to set things up - a lot of folks seem to be afraid to do that.

I found the animal setting. Thank you.

I am not at all afraid to browse the whole app. It's just that settings seem randomly strewn throughout the app and can be difficult to find.
