Arlo Wire-Free - Rapid flashing but camera is turned OFF

TobyHartley — Thu, 13 Feb 2020 11:23:45 GMT

Hi All,

I have my cameras turned off at the moment, I don't need them on - but randomly I was in one room and it started furiously flashing - why is this when its turned off. I ask because it was the one in the bedroom which is only turned on if we go away which gave me a mild heart attack at 2 in the morning when I felt like I had a rave going on beside the bed.... Random - i would assume off means off.... thoughts welcome. Thanks

To be honest, at about 2 or so in the morning, updates are sent out.... Have seen the same thing and I suspect that's what the flashing was about.

This will happen if off or on. You can check on this if you know the versions you were running.

( btw, the bedroom cam I turn to the wall when home 🙂 )

Thanks - That would make complete sense I suppose 🙂 Appreciated. Mine points to the far end of the room, till i realised the huge mirror on the wall 🙂
