Hi, I have just observed a very considerable bandwidth consumption by what appears to be the ARLO component on my Hassbian 0.54.0. Today my firewall shows 3.24Gb of data throughput to 52.48.192.144 which is ec2-52-48-192-144.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com, which is an AWS server, used by netgear - I think (blocking it does disable the ARLO images).
The processes connected to this address are as follow (from netstat)

All of these IP addresses are AWS servers in Ireland (I am in London).

I presume this is because the ARLO component is downloading a lot of video content!
Is it possible to moderate:
- the frequency of download,
- to restrict download to pictures, not videos,
- to restrict download to when the interface is running (it is only useful when using the web interface!)
