arlo Q plus - recently starting beeping ... ... ... ... ... every minute or so??

[2jc]

My 'arlo Q plus' has recently started beeping (3 beeps in quick succession repeated 5 times), every minute or so? The beeping is relatively quite BUT sufficient to activate a notification. I've tried various options, such as disabling the microphone and speaker, restarting it, but the beep continues. To stop the notifications I've had to disarm the camera! Camera Firmware 1.10.1.0_195_13971f9, connected by PoE.

It maybe a coincidence, but this beeping started around the time my Arlo Secure App (Android) was updated (New Logo) last week (Version 4.0.2.1_28506)..

Any advice suggestions would be appreciated.

Likely a coincidence, but easy to test.  Just put the phone in airplane mode and see if the beeps continue.

No idea what is causing the beeps, but I think it might be useful to try

• removing the microSD card if you have one installed
• switching from PoE to the power adapter (if you still have it).

Many thanks for your suggestions, I tried them all and the beeping was still there!

I then removed the camera completely and guess what, the beeping continued........ after further investigation I discovered an old digital thermometer hidden way nearby which was the source of the beeps.

Result one very embarrassed Arlo user 😳
