Hi All,

 

I have read the posts around Arlo not providing such a basic function as continuous live streaming as i purchased the Arlo Pro 4 not knowing this either. I think i have found a workaround solution to acheive this. I purchased a google nest hub for $99 AUD and discovered you can set routines to command what Google assistant does. This is done through the google home app. I set up a routine for google assistant to automatically show and refresh the Arlo security cam stream every 30 minutes as that is the interval for Arlo stream timeouts. i.e. 8am start of routine - Action - "Show front door" (front door cam). Then you add the next start time i.e. 8.30am - Action - "Go home" to refresh the screen, then Action - "Show front door". You then program this continuously as long as you want throughout the day. Once you set the length of this routine once, you can then implement the routine to repeat every day on an ongoing basis. There is about an 8 second delay while the google assistant refreshes the stream, but this is a good work around solution to those people who want a continuous stream without having to manually re-start the stream.

 

Hope this post helps you all.

 

Again, it's dissapointing Arlo won't provide this basic option especially when the battery is connected to power 24/7, and instead offer the unaffordable CVR add-on option.

 

All the best,
