Arlo Pro 2 Battery/Alert Issues

[Wuthrich7]

I am having issues with my battery running down quickly.  I suddenly getting alert overload?  How do I turn down sensitivity or reduce alerts?  Also does noise trigger alerts?  If so can that be turned off?

Thanks for any help here!

You need to adjust the motion sensitivity in each camera rule contained within the operating mode chosen.

Eg. Go to the mode page and tap on the mode name then tap on the pencil icon for the armed mode from the list to display the camera rules. Then tap on pencil related to the problem camera and adjust as required.

@Wuthrich7: The pro 2 also can alert on audio.  You disable that in the same camera rules.  https://kb.arlo.com/42/What-are-modes-and-rules-and-how-does-Arlo-use-them

There is also a motion sensitivity test that can be useful in finding the best threshold.  You don't want to reduce it too much - as then it won't alert on stuff you want it to.  https://kb.arlo.com/41/How-do-I-change-the-motion-sensitivity-on-my-Arlo-camera
