Just got my ARLO and so far so good BUT what is recommended for the sensitiviey setting. I want to get the people but not the neighbors cat.

It apparently comes with the setting at 80% and at 2:00am I got notice that the neighbors cat walked across my front porch. So, any suggestions to get me a good nights sleep?

ead the FAQs here on creating and modifying modes and rules. Use the Mode tab, click on your base and check out both the Armed mode as well as creating a custom mode. Be sure to save any changes/settings - sometimes in the screen where the change was made or a step back. Save both the rule and the mode.

I understand how to change it I'm just curious what others might be using as a sensitivity setting so as not to get the camera to activate every time a cat walks by. I moved the sensitivity from 80 down to 50. Is this a good setting, do I want to go lower, maybe a bit higher?? Want the people but not the critters.
