Arlo camera is set to record for 15 seconds, but sometimes it records for 2 minutes

I read the other posts on this (reset camera to base, reinsert batteries, bla, bla), but this particular camera is mounted high outside. I am wondering if it is due to a software update because it started about ten days ago. It also seems peculiar that a few times each day, the camera records for exactly two minutes instead of the set 15 seconds. It's wearing my batteries down. Maybe I'll try changing the recording time to 5 seconds to see if that helps before getting the ladder out and messing up the field of view.

If you reset the camera and did a full reset of the base and then resynced and it's still happening,

Try Netgear Support

Thanks. If I get home before dark, I can get the ladder out and take down the camera. Kind of a pain, but I don't want to drain my battery with these 2-minute recordings a few times a day.
