is there anyway to extend the session when showing a live camera feed?  I would like to have it on for several hours at a time.

Sounds like you might be better off with a wired camera that can be always on. With Arlo you'd run the batteries down quickly, leaving you with a less than satisfactory experience.

No, the live feed / record auto shuts down at 30 mins to preserve batteries ( in case u forgot and left on )

I'm not useing the live feed on mine. My cameras are not on but once or twice a night. Do I really have to log back in aevery 30 minuets? Again not useing live feed except when activated twice a night. I like to let the screen run and watch if any camreas come on without logging in first. Thank you!

hmmmm. That seems like the major flaw with this product. As my cameras are not on very often battery life is not an issue in my situation. Could be a massive improvment if your team could add an option to leave it on. I know the batteries will die if it stays on for too long at one time. In my case I can not really see why it needs to shut off. I'm laying in my cot... wake up to see if there has been any movment.... Have to get up and walk to the computer to log back in. Other than this issue it's great product so far.

Thank You

Is there anyway to have live feed 24/7 when cameras are using mains adapter with no battery installed in camera? If not, there should be.

Only for the Q cameras.
