We have 5 Arlo Pro 4 cameras and a storage plan.  The cameras are set to record 60 seconds when motion is detected.  This has worked for several years.  Recently, all cameras started recording only a few seconds.  I have fiddled with settings, but all settings do this.  Any ideas?

Do you see "Feed" and "Dashboard" in the app menu?  Or do you instead see "Library"?

 

Did this change around the time the recordings changed?
