Motion Detection Always Reverts to 80

[DazJones21]

Like the title says. It doesn’t matter if it’s the wired doorbell or either one of my standalone cameras, I try to turn the motion detection up and it always goes back to 80 I’ve always had issues with them picking up motion, overall it’s been a pretty terrible experience. Any tips?

The setting in the motion detection test is just for the test.  If you want to change the actual threshold, you need to go into the camera rule(s).

Really helpful, Stephen -  thanks! A bit clunky on the  Arlo UI, but that seems to work.

Thank you.
