I have a Arlo Pro base running 3 camera and one of the 3 is Arlo Pro 2 camera. the Arlo Pro cameras don't have any issues but the Arlo Pro 2 camera sometime show rapid waves going across almost electrical looking waves distort the video completely. so much you can't even tell what the video is. If I change the photo quality from high to low back to high problem is corrected. But trying to understand why I have the issue

Thanks.  What  you are seeing is a corrupted video stream (where parts are missing, or perhaps have errors).

 

Does this happen on every recording or live stream?  How far away is the camera from the base?

Both..... and at first I would unsync the base with the camera and then I discovered that I could changed the resolution it fixes the problem temporarily... I do always leave the unit plugged in and in high resolution... one last thing it is pretty close to a outdoor light fixture

Try unplugging it, and let us know if the corruption goes away.

 

If it doesn't, then swap the cameras and see if the problem stays with the camera.
