Getting way too many notifications

odin20000 — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 07:35:15 GMT

I got a wireless Arlo Video doorbell.

What annoys me the most:

1. My handset (Android) floods me with notifications when someone is outside. I'd prefer an hystersis (cool down) period of 30s-1m.

2. When I get an power outage I get a "feeling" the sensitivity settings gets reset eg the camera starts reacting on far away objects again.

Anyone got any ideas regarding these subjects?

1) Are these notifications due to recordings? WHat is going on outside - someone walking to the door or someone mowing the lawn? Are you getting notifications due to traffic/people walking on the city sidewalk? Have you set an activity zone to eliminate extraneous view and lowered the motion sensitivity in your modes and rules? I have a zone that includes only my sidewalk to the door and sensitivity set to 45. YMMV.

2) You can prove sensitivity changes by checking your modes and rules. Power cycles don't change anything - the camera simply reloads what's set via your account.

Ah I did not know about "activity zone". I do not got any subscription. I'll subscribe for a month to see if it solves my issues.

Thanks.
