Arlo Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Matt (@MWillner2) reportedRug-pull by @ArloSmartHome. Purchased two Arlo Baby’s when they were advertising free cloud storage and now they took it away. This is poor business practice. Also there’s no way to get any service support online unless you pay money for a plan. Do better!
-
LUGA (@luga2020) reported@ArloSmartHome Still not working…
-
LOCK HIM UP 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 (@Gshigs) reported@CNETNews Arlo is a scam. Advertise cloud storage and camera notifications for years - the main reason for choosing them - and then just announce they’re EOLing and shutting it down. Why would anyone buy from @ArloSmartHome again?
-
dylan (@DylanStratton) reportedI’m ready to switch to a new camera system and get away from @ArloSmartHome. They’re killing old cameras and customer service is the worst. They only let me talk to robots. Any security camera suggestions???
-
Steve Lunceford (@dslunceford) reported@ArloSmartHome Terrible new EOL policy. Will never buy another of your products again. I have 5 cameras myself and know of three other families who bought on my recommendation.
-
Jacob dailey (@Jacobdailey1517) reported@ArloSmartHome might be one of the worst products and app I’ve ever used..
-
Doug (@BULLYDOG77) reported@ArloSmartHome Is arlo down today ?
-
Colin Wheeler (@colinpwheeler) reported@ArloSmartHome Your service is terrible. Cannot send a request without a serial number when the request has to do with your security policy. Your company can't get basic languages right. Sigh, amateur hour at the zoo. Not even counting how unstable your entire platform is.
-
Arun 🇮🇳🇺🇸 (@arunt2016) reported@ArloSmartHome #arlo is not compatible with iPhone 14. No way to get help from support.
-
Joseph Gruber (@josephgruber@josephgruber.space) (@JosephGruber) reported@ArloSmartHome Also, a fun bug I found - if I add someone as a friend, it will log them out of _their_ account anytime I change the access settings. Let me help you with the test case: User A should not be able to force User B to log out of their account. #cybersecurity #vulnerability

LizRoddy222 (@Roddy222) reported@C__Start @ArloSmartHome @ArloEU Confirming that VMB4000 is down.
-
kEVin in Dallas (@Kev_Bik) reported@WSJ @nicnguyen Stupid decisions=bad business. And hello, you expected to get away with this with social media!? Not. Glad I don’t own them. Never will now. @ArloSmartHome
-
LakeShowFresh (@LakeSkol) reported@ArloSmartHome @C__Start It’s crazy. It works on iPad intermittently but on my iPhone completely offline. Simultaneously
-
Jack Johnson (@JackJoh58480894) reported@ArloSmartHome Your system is terrible. Your cameras will not stay connected. When you try to reconnect it takes multiple, multiple attempts, if they even ever do connect. Can’t get help from a live person. Customer service is almost non existent.
-
Connie Moulaison (@conniemoulaiso) reported@ArloSmartHome @Pocketlint I have over 9 cameras. When I purchased them I did not need a monthly subscription to view my recordings. Since the update 4/24/26 my features are gone. Arlo Tech help can not fix it. Why did Arlo remove my features I’ve had for years?
-
Mike Woslager (@MikeWoslager) reported@ArloSmartHome returned my system 👍worst customer service ever. No manual no support. Look elsewhere for cameras Arlo SUCKS!
-
ناصر محمد الأمريكي (@nasiralamreeki) reported@mbmcrae Strongly suggest enabling remote local storage access via app for VMB4000. Push EOL for Arlo Pro to 2024. Offer all EOL system owners two years of the newer gen cloud storage free. Otherwise every EOL system owner is walking bad PR for @ArloSmartHome for life.
-
Scott 🌻 (@ScottyWitte) reported@ArloSmartHome It’s normal to be frequently, randomly logged out of the Arlo app. But now, this time, I’m unable to log back in. No reason or error given. I’m assuming the people that run this company don’t use their own products.
-
Deryck Evelyn (@deryckev) reported@ArloSmartHome terrible customer service experience. Calls dropped. No call backs for open service requests despite assurances that calls were scheduled.
-
d@nielle (@daniellemrubio) reported@ArloSmartHome I cannot log in on app or browser or reset my password. I get an error each time and it tells me to contact support but then says I don’t have access to support. Can you help me so I can use the system I paid hundreds of dollars to install? This is insane.
-
Greg - digging through archives (@GregLilly) reported@ArloSmartHome I can't find a way to switch my subscription to yearly -- like the price increase email said to do....HELP!
-
BeautifulOne (@Beautifulone119) reported@ArloSmartHome please help me I have your Arlo Pro 4 system and I've tried ar least 20 times between Saturday and today to set them up. I've followed instructions for how many Ghz AND made sure blue light is blinking AND scanned QR Code. I'm so FRUSTRATED. PLZ DM ME
-
Jerry Norman (@JerryNo40834855) reported@ArloSmartHome the worst camera I've purchased sold by Walmart
-
justin (@BadRammaJamma) reported@ArloSmartHome @ArloSmartHome why am I not allowed to talk to a live agent even though I bought your equipment and it’s not working??? I have to pay you again for a subscription before someone will talk to me, if anybody is considering Arlo, don’t buy it!
-
Corey Crooks (@cdcrooks) reported@ArloSmartHome recently purchased Pro4 Spotlight with Hub. Cameras keep randomly dropping while others on the same hub stay connected. Sometimes they reconnect. What is the fix?
-
Mario (@mariocirignani) reported@ArloSmartHome I am in the middle of choosing a security camera system for my home and daughters home and I read about ARLO’s deceitful behavior. I don’t care that they changed their minds when confronted by bad press. Not buying ARLO. Can’t be trusted. Shameful. Somebody should be fired.
-
mauriciobond (@mauriciobond23) reported@ArloSmartHome Worst quality control and customer service I’ve seen in a while. I have 6 cameras and 2 of them died misteriously 2 months after the warranty had expired. Their response after hours of “troubleshooting” with them (making me waste hours on stuff that’s on the manua): “Tough luck”
-
LXP (https://spacekaren.sucks/learningxp) (@learningxp) reported@ArloSmartHome Trying to upgrade my EOL cameras. Credit card got charged the full amount twice. The CS chats were filled with canned answers and completely unhelpful. No idea if my order is good or not. It's been a while since I've had customer service this bad.
-
Brendan Gill (@scribeteach) reported@ArloSmartHome Is there some sort of system-wide firmware update issue?
