The ability to keep the Arlo App logged in at all times.
-
Smart Notifications that only are sent when activity is in your customized activity zone, but still record all activity within the camera's view.

Can't speak for app differences but the Android app doesn't require you to login every time. I can set up the need to use additional authentication (fingerprint) but I chose not to. Why not just turn off that feature?
Sometimes the activity zone issue is due to camera positioning. Reflections of IR from an object outside the zone bouncing off something inside the zone can cause this. I solved it on my video doorbell by not only creating a zone that eliminates the street while also lowering motion sensitivity to 25 gives me virtually no false triggers while still capturing people on the sidewalk 20-25 feet away.
Use the available capabilities to help out. Give us screenshots and links to videos if you need so we can see what you do.

Thank you for the suggestions. As far as turning off the fingerprint... that feature is suppose to skip over the need to enter email/PW... it is not suppose to be for extra verification.
That is interesting to know that you don't need to login into your Android app every time. Then the question lies - why do you have to with the iPhone & iPad app? And why can't you override this and just select to not have it log you out?
Changing the motion sensitivity could help get more consistency in activating recording in the customized activity zone. I will try your suggestion and change it to 25.
Just for clarification, because I always get confused about which way I should be going when changing the motion sensitivity: lower is more apt to capture static activity and higher sensitivity will be more apt to only capture fast moving activity? Is this correct?
In addition to this... I still hope Arlo will incorporate more sophisticated options for customizing and receiving smart alerts... e.g. only sending push alerts when people are in your activity zone - but still recording and sending to the cloud any activity that is within the camera range.
As my example mentioned, I don't what to receive push notifications every time my neighbors take their garbage out, but when their car is stolen and the police ask me if I have video of the incident that is within my camera's range - I would like to be able to provide that to them.
Thank you very much for your reply. I greatly appreciate it.

Again, I don't know about the iOS app but generally if you don't use the logout menu item you should remain logged in - just background the app by going home. I would think the iOS app would be similar to the Android app where fingerprint or other similar step would only be useful if multiple people use the device so others can't access the app. Try it - it can't hurt.

Lower sensitivity means just that - it will ignore more motion until it's large enough to go over the threshold. More sensitivity will activate on even small motion.

The Smart feature is to specifically ignore certain objects. Everything is recorded but Smart will discard the video if it determines lack of need to keep it. That's where using a base station or SmartHub that supports local recordings would be useful since Smart doesn't (can't) delete those so you can check those recordings, too. If you choose to go that way, I'd suggest upgrading the current base to a VMB4540 so you can use the app to see those local recordings without needing to eject the drive for computer viewing. This would mean a system removal and rebuild to accomplish.

@PenguinCam To add to the Iphone as long as I do not log out it keeps me logged in. Once in a great while it does prompt me but the user name and password are there and I just hit login.
