Hi. I just installed two arlo pro cameras. I want to adjust motion sensitivity. I go to settings for that camera, select motion sensitivity test, then adjust the sensitivity. But it doesn't give me any option to save, it just had a run motion sensitivity test tab. So I click that tab, but nothing happens. When I go back in, it is still set at 50% even though I changed it. I would appreciate any advice, thx.

Your looking in settings, your adjustment is in MODE ( settings is for test only )

Go to MODE, pick your mode your using, click on the > to edit, pick camera and then edit, pick RECORD on motion and edit again , you will see a slider bar.

After ajustment to a higher level, back up one page and SAVE ( on bottom )

Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity to motion on the Arlo Pro 2 so that a car going down the street doesn’t trigger an alert?

Yes, just as with all the other cameras.

How do I adjust the sensitivity of my cameras so that they record motion.

Sense level is done by editing the mode you are using...

 

basic info;

Edit the recording mode (probably ARMED) and edit the rule for that camera. Next to "Motion is detected" there is either a pencil or a > symbol. Click that. A slide with appear with the sensitivity. It's probably on 80. You'll have to experiment with it to get to the right setting. After you change it, click back. Then scroll down and click SAVE. Don't forget to save or the sensitivity won't change
