It sometimes doesn’t work. Support useless.

I have used Arlo Pro 2 (4 of them) cameras and floodlight (2) for a few years. They work reasonably well but every few months lose contact with the base station and need to be set up from scratch. However the base station has now decided it cannot be found by the app. So nothing works at all. Have done reset. Have done hard reset. Many times. Nothing. Have emailed their support. No response. About £2k of kit about to go in the bin. They are still charging me a monthly subscription! Beware.

Dear Ian,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry that your Arlo system is not working correctly and that you are unable to keep an eye on what matters most to you.

If your base station is not found during setup, please make sure that you are connected to the same Internet network to which your base station is connected via Ethernet cable. Make sure that your base station is online by checking that the Internet LED on your base station is either solid green (if you have the VMB4000 multi-LED base station) or solid blue (if you have the VMB4500 model with a single LED). You will find more troubleshooting steps in this support article: Arlo can't discover my SmartHub or Base Station during installation; what do I do? > https://kb.arlo.com/1179130/Arlo-can-t-discover-my-SmartHub-or-base-station-during-installation-what-do-I-do

Horrendous and non-existent ‘Customer Service!’

We have 3 Arlo cameras, and whilst the cameras themselves are great, Arlo’s customer service is some of the worst I have encountered… on the rare occasion they actually get back to us! We went away just as our cameras failed on us - they were showing a firmware update and so are not usable. We occasionally get notifications on one of the cameras but can’t actually view anything or change the motion areas etc. (I’d also like to add at this point that we pay the monthly subscription for Arlo!!) Not ideal for your cameras to go down just as you go away. And here we are, 6 weeks on and no closer to having anything resolved. They communicate via a ‘portal,’ Initially, I had to respond to countless questions about our internet and even after all the information I shared, we received no response. My husband has repeatedly called to then be told it’ll be sent to the agent via this portal thing. We are still within warranty, which I have pointed out, but can’t help but feel we’ll get to November (when it expires) and be fobbed off with some excuse. Such a shame as the cameras are great when they work, but if I’d known how shoddy the ‘aftercare’ and ‘customer service’ was going to be, I’d have gone with another company. Paying a monthly subscription for cameras that aren’t offering us any security and so effectively have no purpose, and having no support from the company, shocking - Seriously, buy from somewhere else!

Excellent warranty support from Arlo…

Excellent warranty support from Arlo after a recently purchased Ultra 2 camera stopped working. They sent me a replacement within a few days.
Now the negatives - The screw in mounting bracket - the lock nut that tightens against the back of the camera, doesn't tighten the camera sufficiently to stop it moving in strong wind. Due to this I've regularly received a message saying that the camera has moved and the activity zones I'd previously set up no longer work. I've resetup activity zones a few times in just a few weeks.

Why o why Arlo, does your hub mirror the WiFi channel of our home routers. They should be on a different channel (1, 6 or 11) to avoid interference with our home routers. If I change the channel on my home router, after a short while, the Arlo hub has changed to the same channel according to the WiFi analyser app I use.

Arlo Ultra 4k cctv

I've had my Arlo Ultra cameras for quite some time, all connected to Arlo Solar panels, and they are brilliant ! The camera 4k viewing and recordings are excellent clear and crisp clarity, and the solar panels keep the cameras fully working even in low light conditions. I do have a subscription which which really should be cheaper but you do get extras including extended warranty and replacement of cameras if stolen ect.
Customer Support can be hit and miss at time's but generally have fixed all problems I've had in the end to my satisfaction.
My only complaint is the hub signal strength ! It could do with being a lot stronger and wifi connectable like it's competitors so you can then place it in more convenient locations in your home away from your broadband hub.
Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you for taking the time to share your positive review! We are happy to hear that you have found the image quality of your Arlo Ultra camera clear and crisp, and that you are enjoying all the advanced features included in your Arlo Secure subscription.

While it is not possible to directly extend the base station or SmartHub's Wi-Fi range, you can connect it to an extender in order to move it away from the main router and closer to cameras that may be too far away from it.

Total waste of money - dont buy

Arlo cameras are a total waste of money. I have 3 cameras and a doorbell. They worked OK for approx 6 months. I recieved a message that the firmware needed to be updated as soon as I have tried to do this there is no way of locating the cameras through my wifi anymore. I have tried everything. The worst part is there is no support email for Arlo you just constantly get links for further instrcutions. These are a total waste of money do not even think of buying them

GREEDY ARLO

It’s a disgrace I have five Arlo cameras, which do not require a subscription to record movement.
The new ARLO essential spotlight requires a subscription in order to record Movement.
Pure and utter greed, after enticing me into buying five cameras now I have to subscribe in order to record movement.

Thanks to cloud storage, all your recordings are safely stored in our Arlo cloud.

The Arlo Essential Spotlight comes with a 3-month free trial which allows you to test all the Smart features and after the trial plan expires, you can decide whether to subscribe to Arlo Secure.

Doorbell with Chime 2

Recently I added a wire free video doorbell with Chime 2 (bought as a discounted package from John Lewis) to supplement my existing “Pro 3 Floodlight” camera with solar panel. Set up was simple (direct to 2.4 GHz wifi) and everything works well. The audio isn’t the greatest but the video quality is good. The doorbell doesn’t pick up someone approaching until they are pretty much on top of the doorbell, but it’s just about good enough. It’s using around 1% of battery charge per day with light/moderate use since late August. Very easy to extract and re-charge the battery. So far so good.

I purchased a Arlo door bell and the Chime 3 months ago and I have had problems with it when I was going to live stream and the battery was dropping so quickly like in 10 days and it supposed to be for up to six months
I have called customer service helpline more than 50 times and upended maybe 15 cases all ways telling me to do something deference to see if would solve the problem but never did and promised me to replace the device but they where paying deferent game each time at the end I give up and dump it my arlo door bell and the chime

Great cameras, good support, flaky software

Update 2:
I need to update this review to reflect the great customer service I’ve just received.
There was a problem cancelling one subscription and starting another. It’s clearly a defect. The support agent walked through it with me and I took screen shots at relevant points. At the end he thanked me for my time and offered a discount for my trouble.

The software has become more reliable, though there are still flaws with the updating the feed list following a notification.

As a result I’m upgrading the score from 1 to 4. The cameras are very good.

Update:
Hmmm mention I’m a Truspilot reviewer. So you pay attention to people who call you out, but ignore others?

The zones I’ll try adjusting sensitivity, but that’s a bit of a nonsense. The whole area that covers the road is blanked out, yet I still get vehicle alerts.

On the point about poor coverage:
- your software says it’s good.
- the event is recorded and available in the app on the specific devices screen, it just doesn’t appear in the feed screen. I can leave it an hour and it won’t appear. Force close app and re-open and it’s there.

For the record, all cameras are powered using your external power cable.

Now back to contacting support. I’ve sent three emails, one of which included video capture of my mobile screen as I ran through the above scenario, which is 100% repeatable. Absolutely no response from you.

Original review.
The software is riddled with bugs, and the technical support simply don’t respond.
Examples of bugs:
- Camera stops connecting to app
- App regularly freezes
- Notifications arrive but the event feed in the app has no entry. Restart the app and they appear
- Zones don’t work reliably - quite often get alerts for motion outside the zone

The cameras themselves are good, but with such buggy software, the experience overall is not great.

Used to be brilliant and reliable now hubs regularly stop talking to app and come on and offline all the time, batteries which use to last 4 months reduced to 1-2 weeks at best with no other change to system (I replaced batteries, no change), tech support is useless. Having spend >£1.5k on their equipment now looking to exit brand as soon as possible and move to rival.

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!

AVOID! AVOID! AVOID!

They promised me a 20% discount code, and said they'll email it to me straight away. I waited but no email arrived. Then they put the prices up on their website by over 50%. Then they conveniently issued the discount code after the price hike. This meant I was paying over £500 more.

Their UK helpline say they can't honour prices from the day before. They can't put me through to a manager and they don't have a complaints department.

Although after reading the reviews on here, I think I've just saved myself a couple of thousand £££!!
