It would be nice if there was a timeout mode for cameras that are placed in “sometimes private” areas. How this would function is there would be a timeout button in the Arlo app next to the library and settings button. If pressed it would turn off alerts and recording for a period of time. We should be able to customize the timeout duration in settings. It’s that simple.

dat1_arlo,

 

This can be accomplished by simply switching the camera to the Disarmed mode. When disarmed, the camera will not produce recordings or send alerts.

I know but sometimes you’re in a rush and you forget to turn it back on.
How about this? When a notification pops up there would be a timeout button as an option. This would timeout arlo for 5-10 minuets then automatically turn back on. It would be more convenient than opening the app. Sometimes people are walking around the house naked. And we don’t want it recorded.
