Got brand new set of 2 arlo pro cameras with base station. So far, have been working pretty good, have been putting them through paces to test various scenarios. One camera is mounted outside just under my porch. It is entirely covered, so even in serious rain (which happened the other day), no water can get in there. However, last night, the following occurred here in central TX. This is video that was triggered by a cat at 12:15 a.m. The temperature was around 54F, humidity 82%, video quality 'optimized.' https://arlo.netgear.com/#/viewShared/8000233B6843CBBE_201701 Next, a video that was triggered by a human, I think, based on audio, at 5:26 a.m. The temperature was 53F, humidity up to 96%, and the historical record shows fog. https://arlo.netgear.com/hmsweb/users/library/share/link/293CBAD825B1BA7B_201701 I examined the camera this morning, it looks fine. Without touching it in any way, turned on the live video and recorded. Looks fine: https://arlo.netgear.com/hmsweb/users/library/share/link/2BF4DCB8B48432BC_201701 fog or not fog? Thanks arlo-ites.

Doesn't look like fog... seeing the empty spot next to the car it looks like a vehicle pulled in with its light on for the duration of the record ( a person wouldn't be able to haold the light steady )

audio track even sounds like a door shutting and foot steps

I agree on the latter about a car pulling in - I found out today that it was my neighbor - but I don't see how their car headlights? could have caused that to occur, they are not very close to being in the same line of sight. The camera is way underneath the porch ceiling, which is opaque solid wood. (Not that I know how the camera would react to a direct headlight).  Some other kind of light?
