What is causing the motion sensitivity setting for all of my cameras (Pro 4, Essential Indoor & Doorbell) to be changed from 80 (default) to 50? I suspect app updates. This is the 3rd time I’ve had to fix it recently and I have not made any configuration changes. I just notice the cameras are missing motion they once detected. 

If it’s you and your updates Arlo, cut the crap.

Hi @PTUxTOO 

 

Are you manually changing the sensitivity to 80% or is the setting fluctuating from 80-50% on it's own?

FWIW, several of my cameras have changed to 50% on their own.  Some did not - no obvious pattern to it.

I didn’t touch them. I know from experience and from creating my own modes that the setting was always ‘80’. Multiple times over the last few weeks, after noting my cameras were missing motion previously detected, I found ALL cameras and modes with sensitivity set to ‘50’.

(Semi-)interestingly, some of mine are at 50%, too, but I can't say for sure that they have changed or if I had them set there in the first place.

When I’ve set up any cameras or created new modes, the default sensitivity was always ‘80’.

Yes.  And I've normally left that setting alone.  So something has definitely changed on Arlo's side of things.
