Blur parts of recorded view

Skogstroll — Tue, 11 Mar 2025 19:09:55 GMT

Hi, I would like a feature for blurring parts of camera view, since it’s hard to not record parts of neighbors properties. This has been discussed before but the threads are locked. I just want the developers to know that more people needs this function. In Europe it’s illegal to film outside your own property, and sometimes it’s impossible to position the camera in another way. Please fix this function! Regards, Axel

What camera models do you have? I am seeing this feature for the Pro 5s, Essential cameras (both Gen 1 and Gen 2), and the Wired Floodlight cameras. But not for the older camera models.

Hi, thank you for your reply. Actually I just saw this. I have some Pro 4 XL and Essential Spotlight, so for the Essential models I can actually do this! I would guess this is a quite new feature since it’s not mentioned in the threads I have read. And I also must have been in settings for the Pro 4 when searching settings. However, I am happy to have the function for the Essential cameras at least. Thank you Stephen and thank you Arlo! Best regards
