So I have 2 Cameras in front of my house.  An Arlo Pro 3 watching down the driveway and a Arlo Pro 2 Watching the front door.

 

I have them set to chain off each other.   So if the Garage Cam Detects motion it records and tells the Front Door Cam to record and vice versa.

 

Today I decided to run a power cable to the Arlo Pro 3 (which by the way makes an amazing amount of difference on the recordings).   But anyways I'm now getting a crazy amount of records on my Front Door cam and my Arlo Pro 3 isn't even detecting anything.  Any ideas whats going on?

Start by removing power to see if normal behavior occurs.

Looks like the Arlo Pro 3 is just recording so much, it keeps telling the Front Door Cam to record.  Probably will need to get a solar panel.  Though I really don't need them to chain now since the garage camera literally records everything now.

If you had not yet try to reposition thePro3 cam to avoid the thing recording excess if they are not triggered by the other cam. Or the same on the other cam or as you said try it with them not chained. 

 

How do I position my Arlo Ultra camera to detect motion in specific areas?
