Do these upload to the cloud as they are recording, or if I set the timer to do 2 minute clips, if someone unplugs my router 1 minute in, would nothing get uploaded.  Thanks,

Hello Cloogle,

 

To answer your question, the videos are uploaded to the cloud as they are recording. If the internet connection is disconnected while the cameras are recording you will receive only what has been recorded up until the internet connection was disrupted. In the example you gave above, if the internet connection was disconnected after 1 min. of recording, even though you had the rules for that camera set to record for 2 mins, the video content that would appear in your library would be for 1 min. Anything after the disconnection happened would not be recorded by your Arlo cameras. An internet connection is needed at all times for Arlo to function properly. I hope this answered your question.
