I have four Arlo cameras around my house. The other night 11 deer were recorded on my driveway camera coming down the drive and going into the back yard and then onto a green belt where they party all night. However, the deck camera, which covers the back yard to the green belt, did not record them going through the back yard. 

The next morning the deck camera recorded over two dozen deer coming from the green belt into and through my back yard. But the driveway camera didn’t record them, and there’s no place to hide between the yard and the driveway. At least not for two dozen deer.
So can only one camera record at a time OR should I be more concerned as to how and where all these deer are disappearing? The only thing I can figure out is that while the first camera is recording the deer the second camera cannot start because the deer are still passing the first.

The base should be able to stream up from up to 5 cameras at a time.

 

Do you have any local storage in the base?  If not, you might add some.  Then you can eject it, and see what the base itself stored.

Exactly that’s what’s happening. Now Stephen being the superuser reply to you about a base. But I’ve got Pro for cameras so I don’t have a base but I’m having the same problem the other persons having. You can’t have two cameras recording at the same time it’s terrible

You certainly can have more than one camera recording at a time - I do it all the time. The only possible issue would be VERY slow upload speeds from your ISP where you would be trying to utilize more bandwidth than is supplied.

Yes, but as said bandwidth may limit you.
