Smart Alert

Smart Alert

After the new update, my alerts are going crazy. I get alerts for everything, even the wind.

I have all option turned off except people and animal, but I still get alerts for everything else. This is killing my battery I have to charge 1 a week now.

It's important to note that toggling off Arlo Smart Alerts will not reduce the number of recordings you see in the library, this only suppresses push notifications for alerts that have that tag. Disabling specific types of alerts will not improve battery life as the camera will continue recording. You may need to adjust sensitivity or camera placement to alleviate this issue if you are experiencing too many motion triggered events.
