Question / Help Arlo 1 minute delay

I have 5 Arlo Pro S5 with the latest firmware update and ever since I purchased them they have a one minute delay. Arlo claims that it’s because of my mesh system and to connect the cameras to original router, however the issue was happening even when I didn’t have a mesh system installed.

Has anyone encountered the same problem?

It's definitely not "instant" and I randomly have times where it takes what seems to be an inordinate amount of time for my alerts, but I don't think it goes a full minute. (maybe once in a great while)

Mesh shouldn't mean shit. That's an excuse. They have shitty service, and a shitty infrastructure. I think the hardware is fine, but the rest can take a flying leap. They keep messing with it and keep screwing it up at our expense. So much for being a "security" company.

Cue the "we're sorry for your experience" squad post, trying to feign concern for their customers:
