Question for the homekit users out there. 

 

I've recently connected my Arlo system to Homekit and spotted something that i can see is going to cause a huge battery problem. 

 

Everytime i open the HomeKit app (and i'm assuming in the background also) the Cameras start streaming/going live for a preview in HomeKit but there's no option to turn this off! 

Meaning everytime i go into the homekit app it's needlessly draining battery from my arlo cameras, as this aren't on charge nor can i rely on a solar panel for these cameras. 

 

Is there a way to turn this feature off?

Hi Sneakyham, did you manage to get an answer to this issue?

I just connected my Arlo cameras to Homekit, and I have the same issue. The four cameras stream for about 10s, then restart the stream again. Is there anyway to stop this?
