When someone walks in the frame of the camera, it takes way too long to view the image. Open the app, then wait for "getting status" which sometimes takes a minute, then press the play button on the screen, then wait for the camera to connect, then see the image. Pretty much useless for seeing whats going on at the very moment its happening. ... View more

I've seen this suggested several times over the past several years and I believe this would be a pretty simple addition to the apps.  There are times I will disable certain cameras when I know people are going to be setting them off repeatedly.  However, when I disable a camera I have to remember to turn it back on.  Why not have a setting to temporarily disable one or several cameras for a finite period of time?  Such a simple addition this would be to increase the usefulness of the cameras.  Does anyone from Arlo read these suggestions? ...

I would like to be able to customize my activity zones so they can trigger a recording wihtout triggering a notification and vice versa. This would help me take advantage of the wide area being monitored by my Arlo Ultras as I could designate an area of high traffic to only trigger recordings without notifications, while a more critical area (on the same camera) would trigger both a recording and a notification.  ...

I know this is primarily a residential system, but we use Arlo in our small business and sometimes I have to search through hours of clips to find the right moment. It would make it extremely beneficial to be able to set a play speed (2x, 4x, 8x) to be able to quickly scan through recordings, then go frame by frame to capture the exact moment I want.   Being able to capture a still frame is great and adding some editing afterwards would be nice, too. Timestamps and some basic highlighting/2D drawings all would be a fairly easy addition and helpful in the right circumstance. ... View more

When listening to recordings or live view, it’s really hard to hear what people are saying unless they are close to the camera and talking loud. Not sure if it could be part of an update or if it would require new hardware but if the camera’s had sound cancelling, it would help tremendously. Right now there is too much white noise/static. ...

Hi,   I had previously suggested an idea to mute notifications and it's great to see that feature added now.  I'd like to suggest taking that one step further having used the feature a few times now.   Use case: I have 4 camera's, 1 at the back garden, 1 indoors and 2 at the front.  While I'm working in the back graden, it would be great to just mute the back garden camera only so that I still get notifcations if the front camera goes off.     Thanks, Paul. ...

The whole "If Motion is Detected" needs an AND option to include what type of motion: People Vehicles Animal Package Other When configuring modes this granulatarity is needed to minimize unecessary notifications and excessive noise.  A mode needs to be able to have multiple options per camera.  i.e. If the following: Front Door, Motion Detected - AND "Motion is People" - THEN "Record Video" - THEN "Push Notification" The "AND Motion is People" needs to have a complex set of boolean options.  IS People and IS NOT Vehicles, etc. I don't want to be notified by "Animals" on some cameras, ever.  Additional, there are OTHER cameras that animal notifications are the ONLY thing I want notified on.  It's nice Arlo can categorize what it detects but unless you can create rules/triggers on those they are useless. Useless. This logic is already built into the Library, where you can select and limit what you see in the library.  That concept needs to be moved over to Modes and Notifications.  Maybe a customer only wants to be notified if they have a PACKAGE detected on their front door and nothing else.  Maybe they want a push notification for a package but an email if a person is detected.  Or, maybe they want push notification for packages 24 hours a day but only push notifications if a person is detected after 9pm, etc. ...

I'm super happy that we've now finally got the HomeKit integration for the cameras, it's really rounding-out my HomeKit configuration, but what I'm surprised to discover, is that there's no actual way to either enable/disable the cameras, or to Arm the security via the base station.   There are a couple of programmatic ways that this could be done. 1. The Camera devices already have the device types Camera, and Motion, but adding a switch type would allow users to enable/disable cameras within HomeKit routines. 2. Alternatively, the Base Station could be presented as a HomeKit Security device type, which would allow routines to Arm/Disarm the Arlo mode. (This would be more convenient for HomeKit, as you'd still be able to preview the camera, even if it's not armed for recordings)   ... View more

We should be able to change Arlo's alert notifications Sound & Volume without affecting entire smartphone and possibly be able to have different alert sounds for different cameras!  THAT would be awesome!   ... View more

I've had a couple of days to play with my new Pro 2  installation and you have an extremely nice non-technical user solution. And it even reaches my detached garage (100+ ft from base station). My wife is quite pleased. But  I'm a bit of a tech nut (retired IT Architect - Technology.). So why not do an additional bit of monetization but developing a Prosumer version of the application. I know I'd be more than willing to pay for a version that had the following capabilities. Full control of each camera / device on the base station. Meaning each camera's rules, notification, zones, schedule, zone rules, recording location, etc. Better abilty to create rules. Triggered action lists by camera, by zone as an example. Open recording to ethernet attached devices. Ability to use common wi-fi extenders. Expose or provide device access from local lan (apk would work) Again, don't expect for free, but also don't want to subscribe to monthly service unless it came with the level of customization above. ...

I recommend that upon login and the devices page comes up showing the camera screenshot grid that camera enablement/disablement, motion enablement/disablement, audio enablement/disablement be possible via selection of a relevant icon presented on the screenshot page per camera.

Current "schedule" feature allows to activate Modes, and in Mode you can choose cameras, but not the activity zones. It would be nice to be able to monitor only activity zones during some time range, for example day, and all area at night (ignore activity zone, or choose different one).  ... View more

Why doesn't ARLO offer an Upgrade/Promotional Buyback program? I'm a relatively new customer and yes I know the new cameras are backward compatible with whAt I have but I would like and could really use some of the new features for all my cameras.   ARLO PLEASE consider putting together a program to help out all your customers that have older equipment. Buying the newer cameras and base station to get some of the needed capabilites and functions is just not affordable for me. ... View more

Hi! i bought this Arlo pro 2 system from Singapore and sent it to my home country Bangladesh. And now i cant subscribe to arlo smart plan. Therefore I cant use Arlo's CVR option. I spoke to the Arlo's agent and I was told that if I really want to use this feature i need to bring it back to Singapore, install it here and send it back to Bangladesh. But do you think thats a reasonable solution? Can someone from Arlo management team help me in this regard? ... View more

Why limit the arlo magnet to just the back side of the Arlo?
