Hello all,

 

I have 3 Arlo Q cameras connected to AC mains with stock USB power adaptor and stock USB cable.  I turned the front LED off and Night vision LEDs off on one of the camera.  In addition, motion detection zones has been set up for this camera.

 

I find myself having to re-enter all the settings and reprogram everything everytime the power is lost or when I power cycle the camera (unplug the SUB power adaptor for 1 - 2 min and plug it back in.  The camera connects to the WiFi network just fine which is a good thing.

 

Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

Running the Q also, never had to reset anything on it after power outage, pulling plug to move ,etc.

 

Next time it goes out, try a RESET of the Q ( hold reset in for temn sec till the front led flashes )

You will have to re-sync this time but in future all your modes, settings should stay
