Three mornings in a row now, I've put the Arlo system on standby to go down and eat breakfast, yet the essential 2 wireless camera triggers the siren when I enter view. When I go to disable the siren, the app routinely freezes and "error: failed operation" message appears on the app.

To add to the misery, it wakes up my 3mo after I just get him down for the morning.

The app and cameras are all up to date on firmware, the camera in question is about 75% charged and is directly next to my router, I get about 500gbps download speed so theres not a connection issue. The system is supposed to trigger when home/away is armed and motion is detected first by a pair of all in one sensor then the camera to try to reduce false alarms.

I'm so sick of this garbage app , horrendously bad support and the near constant false alarms.

I'd start by double-checking the "Standby" mode - looking for rules for these cameras.  By default there shouldn't be any rules, but it is worth a check.
