Betreff: Disable Mode Change Notification 2026

[jm28]

I set a custom schedule for 10pm to 6am arm devices. I would expect to only receive notifications of movements on those devices during those times. Instead, at 10pm I receive YOUR CAMERAS ARE ON and then at 6am YOUR CAMERAS ARE OFF. Then at 10pm YOUR CAMERAS ARE ON. Then at 6am YOUR CAMERAS ARE OFF. (You know, just like you wanted). Please disable this unnecessary alert that keeps us from focusing on actual important alerts.

We do  have this in as a feature request. And the team is currently looking into it. Once there is an update I will let the community know.

Thank you. As someone who works with UAT, I suggest options for the users - 

Mode Change Notifications -
[  ] Same as Device Alert
[  ] Silent
[×] Feed only

Consider adding phone passkey support for a change in mode (fingerprint or FaceID) if you are worried about safety. But like I said, let the user choose their notifications.

FWIW, it'd be great if Arlo could add passkey support generally.

I put in for this feature request with our development team. If there is any updates regarding this, I will reach out to the community.

Yes, absolutely annoying. Please ARLO stop this nonsense. I don't want to have unimportant messages in the middle of the night for a modus change!!!!

This is not just a minor inconvenience; it's a critical disruption of the user experience. Receiving forced push notifications for every scheduled mode change is essentially system-generated spam. These unwanted alerts clutter our feeds and, more importantly, lead to notification fatigue—causing users to potentially ignore real security threats.

This must be treated as a high-priority fix, not a long-term feature request. We need the option to disable these spam-like mode change alerts immediately.

I absolutely agree. If the annoying Mode Change Notification will not be changed, I will consider to quit Arlo and change to another camera system.
