Just when I finally thought I'd figured out all the bugs in this Arlo Pro system! Last night after midnight over a 30 minute period one of my camera's activated 3 times and when I checked the video's this morning it's the SAME EXACT video of our cat walking across our driveway. What could cause this system/camera to record the same video 3 times. And no, it's not the cat walking across the driveway 3 seperate times, it's the very same video all 3 times.

 

Prior to this I had noticed repeated video's before but sort of wrote them off as being slightly different. Apparently they weren't different after all.

Put a trouble ticket into Support...there's been a few threads on multi recordings.

 

Also if it;s the same video, obv it wasn't on your end...but from the server side

Thanks, I'll do that and see what if anything happens. As long as it only happens once in awhile it's no big deal but not if it's going to be happening every day.

This issue has been escalated to the engineering team and is actively being investigated. If I get any new information regarding this topic, I will post it here.

Hi,
I have the same issue from yesterday. Checked videos, it is all same. The issue is exactly similar to the one Darke3287 posted. I deleted most of the videos and tested with a new recording and all further recordings played the same first video recorded. Please let me know if any fix available.

Are you watching the video on an Android device?  Because just recently Android app will only play the first video of the day when you click on any of the video.  So maybe they are not the same video... but the app was playing the same video no matter which one of the 3 you clicked.
