I have had my camera system for a year now.  I have been very pleased with it up to this point, however lately the motion detection-video delay has increased considerably in the last month from a split second to now it is delayed three to five seconds.  The video clip does not capture whatever triggered the motion detector in most cases.  I have four Arlo wireless cameras outdoors which are all doing the same thing for the last month, not capturing whatever triggered the motion detector to video.  I have even tried increasing the motion detector sensitivity, but it still does the same thing.  The batteries in all of the cameras are new as well.  I have un-plugged the base to try to reset it as well, but to no avail.  I have one Arlo-Q set up indoors and it is working fine.  I am at a lost, so if anyone can help me with this problem, please reply.

Also, all of the running men are black, so it is armed correctly.

While there have been SW upates, I haven't seen and diff in the lag time here... fairly stable at 1-2 secs for 2 years now

 

Have you changed anything in the home?  New cordless phone, microwave, etc any thing that may introduce interference ?

 

What sense levels are you running at ?

Thanks for quick reply. No, haven't changed anything. This started in the last month. I have tried different sensitivity settings, but nothing has resolved it.

How long have you had your system and when did it begin with longer delay?

Since you reset you base unit and have seen this just recently... I would let Netgear Support know about it..it may be related to a SW update, someone else mentioned something similar ( tho I don't see it ) , maybe it could be a server issue , unsure here.

 

But if they get a few complaints they will become aware of an issue if there is one

I just bought and installed my cameras and I'm having the same problem related by several users about motion detection-video delayed by seconds. Dear Arlo support team do you have any solution to solve this issue?

I would appreciate your quick answer. Thank you.

A 2 second lag is the best you can expect.  Longer implies various possible issues, such as poor WiFi connections, slow Internet upload speeds, old firmware, etc.
