"White Flash" with clips in new Doorbell Camera?

EmptyNester — Sun, 31 Oct 2021 02:40:24 GMT

Just about ever clip that my new Doorbell (Battery) records has a bizarre "WHITE FLASH" about 1-2 seconds in. This happens on almost every clip. Is anyone else seeing this happen? Does anyone know if the great mystery machine called GOOGLE has acknowledged this as an issue and are they working on it? Yes, I have reported in in the Google HOME app as feedback but have not heard anything back. I wish Google could go to the SCHOOL OF ARLO to see how real tech support and customer service is done.

I had this issue and returned my wireless doorbell for the wired one. They are aware of the issue but no ETA on fix.

It has to do with the night vision mode flipping on/off briefly. Disable night mode or turn it on all the time to mitigate the issue. Other than that you'll just have to wait for the fix to come out or just return it.

This has been an issue since launch.

Hi Ex12a, Thanks for the reply. I feel really informed now. WOW,,, what a messed up product release this has been. Sadly, I sold my previous nest HELLO doorbell before I knew how much I was going to hate this product.

Hi Brad, It looks like the problem might be fixed. But I wish Google would somehow let people know when they do fix something like other companies do with their products. You can go ahead and close it out and I will report it again if the problem comes back.
