I have my Arlo Q set to NOT trigger on animals. Yet I get a notification that says "Activity Alert: Animal Detected." Is this a major software bug???

Hi @qualityguy

 

Have you tried to reboot the camera & remove/re-add the device in the Active Cameras list under Settings > Manage Arlo Smart

So how can the software possibly be set not to trigger on animals and then it alerts on an animal?  This is a new tryout of this product so the entire install is only a few days old.  Why would reinstalling/rebooting the camera fix what appears to be an obvious software bug???
