I'm curious how to tell if our cameras have been "hacked". Have noticed that when we sit in a dark room (baby room), periodically I can see the IR lights from the arlo pro are illuminated. Neither myself or my spouse are logged in. Does this mean the camera is hacked/being remotely watched? How can we confirm/disprove this?

Wouldn't it just mean the camera has detected motion and is recording? You don't have to be currently logged in for it to work normally. Or are you in a mode where this camera shouldn't detect motion or record at the time you see the IR illuminators?

Oh yeah, just to clarify, this is during a time when the camera is not programmed to be armed.

The cameras cant be hacked, the reason your seeing the IR lights is because the camera is still on but not doing anything (recording) in disarm mode now if you go to each camera and turn them off the IR will not come on.
