How much recording time do you get from 1Gigabyte

"It depends." (TM)

The length of recording time, the resolution used, the number of recordings, etc. all gets in there. The highest resolution recording for 2 minutes may take 10-15MB. Check your usage and calculate from there.

BTW, if you're referring to the 1GB of free storage, don't sweat it. That limit hasn't been enforced for quite some time.

We just got the Arlo system with two cameras and every recording is only 10 seconds long how can you change it to be longer than 10 seconds not concerned with the 1 GB want to make sure it continues to record for longer than 10 seconds

[jguerdat]

As posted many times here, the 1GB "limit" isn't enforced and the 10 second default recording time can be set by using the Mode tab. Select your base and edit the default Armed mode.  All settings are in there, including the recording time. Be sure to save.

Better yet, create your own custom mode(s) so you have complete control.  Consider the schedule to automate the process.
