Me and wife have a top of the line cobra radar detector in both vehicles. And when we go past our Arlo driveway cam it detects motion. Flashes my hue lights but doesn’t record. It also triggers my second Arlo to record and that Arlo sees me simply because it was told to record from the first.

Ever hear of this issue?

Nope. I have Valentine 1 radar detectors and have no issues. It could be an issue with yours radiating some sort of energy but I tend to doubt it since it would need to be IR frequencies. An easy test would be to turn them off and see if that makes a difference.

 

The more likely scenario is that the cars are reflecting the sun's IR, setting off the cameras.
