Want to watch live continuously

[derekw553]

I want to be able to see my cameras live when Im just sitting home and I cant do for too long before it goes back to main screen and I have to keep pressing the play button to get it back up live. Also, I was watching live and someone pulled in my driveway and came to door and I didnt see on monitor because there was motion detected, Is there anyway to get the motion alerts but to still see live feed without it stopping because there motion or it recording?

Thank you

Nope. You're using the system outside of its design parameters. It's for motion detection with only occasional live viewing. It will turn itself off when live viewing for more than about 30 minutes to save batteries. Won't do you much good if you have to replace them every day or two. The Arlo Q has been announced that is wired for power and can stream continuously but its not on the market just yet.

Live view overrides detection and recording. No notifications.

What about the two cameras I have in front both don't go off by motion at same time it only one or the other even if someone is right in front of both of them?
Thanks

The typical issue is the direction of motion to those cameras.  If one sees motion across the FOV and the other has the motion essentially straight on, you may well only get detection on the one camera.  You can mitigate this by setting up a rule where motion detected on one camera starts another recording and vice versa.  Add those to a mode and use that mode to record based on either one triggering.
