My camera is set up in a home on MST.  I want to monitor it from a location in EST.  When I edit the schedule for camera, and set different modes for different times, should I set the times for MST (where the camera is loacted) or EST (where I am located)?

what ever floats your boat... you know the time difference between where your monitoring vs the location.. I would think you would want to view in local time but that's up to you as the camera really records in epoch time anyway ( check the file names for the long number... its gmt also )

Times are set based on the base stations time setting.

Rickg737,

 

Check your time zone settings and make sure you have your local time zone selected. Log in to your Arlo account, navigate to Settings > My Devices > select your base station > choose your time zone from the drop down selection.

That solution does not work for me as well. Arlo is still 2 hours behind! I need PST and I would have to set it to Hawaiin time. As much as I would like to be in Hawaii that is not the case. FIX THIS PLEASE! Incase of legal issues THIS IS CRUCIAL!

bigfrank,

 

You can change the time zone for your base station to PST by logging in to your Arlo account and navigating to Settings > My Devices > select your base station > select PST from the drop down. This will set the displayed time for content in your library to PST.
