How do I adjust Arlo video recording length?

This article is for the Arlo Secure App experience with Library. If you have the Arlo Secure App experience with Feed, please visit: How do I adjust Arlo video recording length? - Arlo Secure 4.0

You can personalize your Arlo cameras to record videos from approximately 10 to 120 seconds long. Most Arlo cameras can record a variable length of up to 300 seconds. Recording requires either an Arlo Secure subscription or local storage. For more information, visit: What is Arlo Secure and how can I benefit from it? and How do I enable or disable local storage of Arlo video recordings on a USB device?

To adjust Arlo video recording length:

  1. Launch the Arlo Secure App or log in to your Arlo account at my.arlo.com.
  2. Tap or click Mode.
  3. Select the SmartHub, Base Station, or camera that you want to adjust.
