How do I get to the Arlo Cloud to retrieve downloaded videos saved? I was under the impression that I have seven days of free cloud storage. So far all I've been able to see is 10 second intervals when motion triggers the video in my library. Does this not have continuous streaming video somewhere?

Notice the selections at the top of your screen, including Mode.  Click on them and get familiar with the interface.  Also, use the FAQs which have very direct directions for a wide variety of topics.

 

For your specific issue, use the Mode tab.  Click on your base to select it.  Note the modes in there - by default Armed is used.  Edit the Armed mode and check out the settings available.  Make changes as needed, being sure to save at every opportunity.

 

Better yet, create your own custom modes so you have complete control over what .you need

The wireless cameras don't have continuous streaming capability or you be changing batteries daily or every other day. The Q cameras are powered and can be used to stream via live view or the CVR option.

Sounds like the system is working fine...BTW, the default time of record is about 10 secs... you can increase this up to 2 mins on the Arlo cameras.

 

These are MOTION DETECT > then RECORD ,  for the time amount set in the active mode .

I just bought one, and i cant find the option to increase til record lenght. There is no menu anywhere and no slidebars for increasing. What to do. It is annoying that it only records 15 seconds. Thank you.
