Arlo Secure: Home Security - Latest Quality Issues

30 seconds video even when an object is around. In the past it would record continously. Now only 10 seconds videos. Recent update messed it up motion detection and duration to record

Suddenly they've gone from pretty good to total garbage. Sick of trying to be extorted to watch my security videos. The new gimmick is to have new firmware to be installed, EVERY OTHER DAY. GO WITH SOMEONE ELSE FOR YOUR SECURITY NEEDS. GRIFTERS HERE.

Do not Update the app! Since 4.12.5 live viewing your own expensive cams is not possible and an "Abo-Feature". Stay away from arlo is my take home message. How do you set back to an oder version?

Cameras drop connection and then don't reconnect. Sometimes, the cameras are connected and clearly working as they are giving motion detection but can not be connected to, nor do they store recordings. It's usually decent but the downgraded quality if you don't have a sub is pretty annoying, especially since the first several generations of the base station had no legitimate means of local storage (nothing better than small capacity flash drives).

Activity Zone... At one point, we could adjust the angles of the activity areas so you could line it up perfectly with a fenceline at 45° on the screen. But now that option has been removed, and I'm back to forced square shapes. I unknowingly deleted the angled shapes to readjust, and now I can't get them back. Surely it can not be that difficult to have kept them as they were. It was borderline perfect and you basically regressed.

The delay for receiving notification is pretty long. Also the monthly cost for viewing is very high compared to other brands.

The integration of Smart Hub is completely inadequate.

Since the latest update, local storage with micro SD card no longer works, i.e. the app reports the movement, but no videos are displayed in the app or feed. In addition, direct access to the cameras still does not work even with this update version. What a pity.

not very efficient and slow
