Fishingsiao00,

 

You should find the charging LED toggle by navigating to settings for the desired camera > tap on the ">" icon next to the camera name > select Indicator LED > Battery Fully Charged toggle

Hi James, 

I have already turn off the Camera LED but the flashing blue light still continue.

Anyway the power supply is 24/7 switch on. Does it matter?

Fishingsia00,

 

Take a look here for more information on LED behaviors: https://kb.arlo.com/642/What-do-the-different-LED-behaviors-on-my-Arlo-camera-mean

 

Is the flashing constant or does it only happen intermittently?

Hi JamesC,

 

I’m using Arlo Pro 3, it is fast flashing blue light for 1-2 seconds.
Only sometimes it happen. 

Could it be due to the network connection? Sometimes my Wifi connection has intermittent issue.

Fishingsiao00,

 

A fast flashing blue LED indicates the camera is reconnecting to the network. If your network connection is interrupted, this would be the expected behavior when the connection is re-established.

One workaround is to put some black (heavy) tape over the LED.
