I am noticing that when a motion is detected by the camera it the notification more than 5 seconds to appear on my iPhone. Maybe to some it doesn't sounds like much time but I need for the notification to appear in less time. What, if anything, can I do to lessen this delay?

Five seconds is a typical delay for arlo.

If you’re using smart notifications the delay can be longer as it has to stream the video to the arlo server AI to determine the motion classification.

Try turning off smart notifications and activity zones to see if it improves.

Thank you for this tip. I will make the changes.
