I have the most updated app and cameras. The new app has the Arm Away, Arm Home and Standby "Modes".

 

Is there are way to create a 4th mode? I'd like to be able to customize my modes a little more.

Okay...sure...but why would anyone apply the settings of a PANEL to any customers that do not have that device? 


I don't work for them.

 

That said, if they were were going to keep Library, they wouldn't have migrated millions of subscribers to Feed over the past months.  I don't see any path where they try to maintain two very different interfaces in the same app forever.

 

The path forward is clearly going to be built on Feed.

This is horrible. Local storage liberary was the best feature, for is that DONT want to pay the sub. This feature is now ruined. Not ok! Fix it.

I just cancelled my service and am looking for new cameras for the same reason. They took a good product/service and totally screwed it up.

Local storage hasn't changed.  I suspect you were using the free 7-day cloud storage before (and NOT local storage).  That has changed, as Arlo stopped offering that on new camera models back in 2018 - so all the currently sold cameras need a subscription for cloud storage.

No. I have the arlo smarthub  base stadion with memorycard in it. Why would you suspect that? 

Arlo has taken away a good product and destroyed it with the new app/UI. I now have no dig deep into the settings on the smarthub base stadion to access my recordings. Before it was listed in the same library as the cloud. So yeah, this still sucks. And we all hate arlo now that paid extra for this in 2021.

Because a lot of folks posting issues on local recordings were actually using the 7-day free cloud storage with their legacy cameras, but mistakenly thought they were using local storage.

They are in the process of changing that back, so local recordings will be shown in the feed.  That should roll out with the 5.2 version of the app.  You'll see a "local" option in the feed settings when you get that change.
