Is it possible to enable the feature where the camera will continue recording until motion stops with the Arlo Pro and original Arlo? It seems as though my cameras may have been set to that without me realizing it, but I went into the settings and clicked the box that has it record for a specific amount of time, and now I can't figure out how to set it back to the way it was. Was it just a glitch that allowed that to be enabled in the first place? Whenever I try and search for information I only find stuff relevant to the Arlo Q camera.

The way Arlo and Arlo Pro work is the motion sensor triggers recording for the length of time that you set (or 10 seconds by default if you don't change it). During this time, the motion sensor is not active, presumably to conserve battery power. Once the recording ends, the camera takes a few seconds to reset itself and activate the motion sensor again. It's a bit of a bugger as it would be good for the camera to continue recording until it stops being exposed to motion but it is what it is
