I have 3 Arlo camera's covering the front of my house, 2 of the VMC3030 cameras and 1 Arlo Pro.  The last couple of weeks both of the VMC3030 have started to ignore motion.  The Pro picks up someone walking onto my driveway but the VMC3030's which cover my front doors do not detect the person.  I can stand in front of them and wave about and they just don't trigger any movement.  If i switch them off from the app for around 5 minutes and then re enable them they start working again for a few days and then this repeats again.  All  3 are just over a year old and still in good condition.  I have changed the batteries too to see if that helps but it doesn't.  Anyone have any ideas or is this how long i can expect them to last?

Firmware changes can make anything happen, including this. I'd start by increasing the motion sensitivity for your cameras in your modes and rules.
