New to Arlo

Ok, I've been researching camera systems for years. I've got a couple cheap systems that work, not ideal and want a comprehensive indoor/outdoor set up. Key is in want to hard wire the power. Arlo seemed to fit and just bought 3 new flood, 2 indoor , and a door bell. I've got 29 days left.

Subscriptions - they brag not needed but see that is not the case in the thread. It pushes me to subscribe but did not force me. Afraid after a $500 investment they are going to corner me.

Motion trigger - Super annoying that I get so many triggers when we are home. I hopedv the disarm feature would just live video but not detect. How the heck can I do this?

Deleting - I have countless video of us in the kitchen cooking from the morning trigger. How do I mass delete.

I'm so tired of companies changing tune after purchase and afraid after 30 days in going to have deep regret.

Any advice from the mass on Redd? WSID.

Switching to Standby will do this for all cameras. You can also do this on a schedule.

Note you can also modify "Arm Home" to stop recording on your indoor cameras, and only record on the outdoor ones (or any other mix you want). Then switch to "Arm Home" whenever you are home.

Touch the three dots in the upper right of the feed page, and then select ""Select Events". You can then select individual recordings, or all recordings made on a specfic day.
