Hi - 

 

I've got a few Arlo cameras that I own and recently a family member in a different time zone granted me guest access to their cameras.  I can see all cameras in the "cameras" as well as recordings in the "library" tab, which is nice.

 

However, my cameras are on the USA west coast (PST/PDT) and my other family member's cameras are on the east coast (EST/EDT).  Unfortunately, the time shown on each recording in the library is the time where the camera is, not where *I* am, when viewing.  This results in the time being 3 hours off for all of my family member's recordings from my perspective and the recordings being out of order.

 

For example, I'll see an east coast recording listed as 4:00 PM as more recent than a west coast recording at 3:00 PM.  If the east coast recording was adjusted for the time zone where I'm at, it should be listed as 1:00 PM.

 

It's not a big deal since based on the image preview I can mentally adjust the time in my head but it's annoying that the recordings are out of order.

 

I didn't see an option to change the time zone for this specific situation without making the time zone wrong for the east coast cameras (but right for me).

 

Any ideas?

Sounds right. Don't think there's a way around it since the video time is apparently set to the camera's local timezone.
