I've had my arlo for a few years now. Never had an issue with this device. Last night I was woke by a notification and it looked like a 2 in string blury in front of the camera. It moved and changed shape. It turned into a part translucent tube with an L bend in it. I have a 7 min clip. Someone told me it may be a video artifact. Wanted to see of anyone else had this happen randomly. I opened my garage and it disappeared after the light turned on. I checked the camera throughout the night and it didn't happen again, nor had it ever happened before.

To me it looks like either an insect leg, feeler or an animal hair.

The reason for blurring is that it’s too close to the camera lens and you only see it in the dark because the camera night LEDs are reflecting off the object. When the lights turn on you don’t see any object as it is outside focus.
