Does anyone know why the infrared lights on all four of my Arlo Pros periodically come on at the same time.  They will all turn on simultaneously and remain on for 2-3 seconds then they will all go off at the same time.  This haapens numerous times throughout the night and there is nothing in front of any of the cameras to trigger them.  The cameras are all located in different places and are about 60-80 feet away from each other.  There are no rules set up to cause other cameras to turn on when one is triggered.

 

It only appears to be happening with the Arlo Pros, not the Arlos.  I have not had time to monitor the Arlo Go yet

 

I have thought it through and can't come up with an answer.  It simply happens on its own.  I would think with this happening numerous times thougout the evening, day after day, is probably shortening my battery life.

Noticed that too, randomly yes but every time app is started as well. No idea why that is, looks as if base station checks with camera status periodically........like a wake up call? It most definitely comes from base station and not from motion sensed. Not really sure how much of an effect that may have on battery life.
