Question

Question.  I've had an Arlo 2 Pro since mid-December.Question. I've had an Arlo 2 Pro since mid-December. I'm having problems setting the sensitivity low enough. I've got 4 cameras on it and the slightest amount of wind and flying insects (wasps in particular) seem to set them off. I've got the sensitivity on all 4 set below 10 and still today alone I've gotten over 50 false alarms. Any suggestions? I'm afraid of setting them any lower for fear they won't pick up an actual person. What's the lowest sensitivity they can normally be set at?  

Answer 1

Get the smart notifications pack

Answer 2

Ck and make sure audio is off. We were having a problem and realized that the audio was set.

@travistravus Turn off the microphone and speaker? Or just the microphone?  

Answer 3

Definitely check audio triggering is off. I've had a camera at sensitivity 1 before. Still caught people but didn't activate with the swaying tree in the wind

Answer 4

Where are you altering the setting.

Do this for each camera.

@jus54237 it keeps defaulting to 80%. I change it, back out and when I go back in, it's at 80% again.

@lyophilic are you pressing save too right once you’ve set new setting.

@jus54237 Thanks! I missed the "Save" button.
