Arlo Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Justin Roth (@JustinRoth) reported@ArloSmartHome I bought my camera system less than 3.5 years ago and now it will be a brick without any buyback or future purchase incentive? You lost a customer for life. Terrible way to run a business.
-
Gaaiz (@gaaiz) reported@ArloSmartHome It was clearly a big mistake advising your products to my friends and family, which I now have to explain this terrible EOL decision. Off course I will tell them not to use Arlo products ever again after this little stunt.
-
RossCreations (@CreationsRoss) reportedDude this video surveillance company really doesn’t have a way to download 24/7 video snippets. That’s like a plumber not working on toilets @ArloSmartHome figure this out or I gotta find another company. Sucks cause I’ve really liked u so far
-
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.
-
taylorpineiro (@taylorpineiro) reportedLooking for a terrible example of an #aichatbot? Look no further than @ArloSmartHome! Truly an atrocious experience.
-
Dayne Turner (@DayneTurner1) reportedArlo EOLing devices that are 5 years old. Piss poor action by this company. Will be moving to someone else after this move. Tisk tisk. #arlo @ArloSmartHome

LizRoddy222 (@Roddy222) reported@C__Start @ArloSmartHome @ArloEU Confirming that VMB4000 is down.
-
Chris Szmergiel (@SzmergielChris) reported@BeljicaPeak @ArloSmartHome Even better they still lie to their android users forcing them to turn on insecure permissions. I dropped Arlo completely after they doubled down on the permissions.
-
F3L!C!A (@FreakyFelicia) reported from New Westminster, British Columbia@ArloSmartHome customer service is trash
-
Denise (@DeniseGratia) reported@ArloSmartHome I'm waiting for my turn in the chat room and I've been waiting for over an hour and 4 people have gone thru the queue. Your service is especially terrible. The only thing you're really good at is billing.
-
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???
-
Jake Campbell (@JCampbell_00) reported@ArloSmartHome tech support is crap. Terrible experience. I’m ripping it off the house and going to buy something else.
-
avfc (@krispycremekef) reported@ArloSmartHome One of the worst purchases I’ve ever made,end of
-
🏎 (@wrinkled_lemon) reported@ArloSmartHome I will never trust your products again. If you can do this to earlier models, what's stopping you from EOL-ing current models a couple of years down the road? Why would I *upgrade* to new models when you can just pull the infrastructural support for it later?
-
Ryan Holt (@RyanHoltNC) reportedThe @ArloSmartHome Doorbell Cameras are a piece of ****. Just absolutely terrible.
-
716 Fan From 908 (@716_Fan_Frm_908) reported@ArloSmartHome fix your servers. What good is a “security” system that is down for hours.
-
Ellen Foster (@ellennnfoster) reported@ArloSmartHome is there an outage on your doorbell server? I'm unable to access any smart features and am getting generic motion notifications, no previews, etc. (I have a subscription)
-
Jason Desaulnier (@Desaulnier27) reported@ArloSmartHome why does the geofencing option for my cameras not work? Please help
-
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”
-
Jaszlyn Fennelle (@JaszlynF) reported@ArloSmartHome Why is it so hard to get help ? It seems so many people are having trouble with battery problems and I need help ! You have to have a subscription to receive live support ? My cameras don’t work !
-
Bonnie Showerman (@BonnieShowerman) reported@ArloSmartHome The absolute worst doorbell ever made! No support help, can even speak to a live person. Don’t wast your money!
-
LUGA (@luga2020) reported@ArloSmartHome Still not working…
-
Skeldor (@skeldor) reported@ArloSmartHome you guys are the Southwest Airlines of video doorbell companies. Got one for Christmas and have tried for hours to install just to be told you don’t have the bandwidth to handle all the new customers and my doorbell is now offline. Uninstalling and returning.
-
mrspeeed (@mrspeeed4) reported@ArloSmartHome EOL policy is trash will not be buying anymore arlo products and giving you poor reviews where I can
-
Alex Mereness (@MerenessAlex) reported@ArloSmartHome I’ve spent well over $700 into this system, based on promises and claims made by you. It’s disappointing that you now choose to go back on said promises, I understand not supporting old hardware, but effectively bricking/paywalling the system unless more money is spent is trash.
-
Tungen Gasche (@TungenGasche) reported@ArloSmartHome How many times an hour does an "unexpected error" have to occur before it's not "unexpected" any more?
-
Mike Woslager (@MikeWoslager) reported@ArloSmartHome returned my system 👍worst customer service ever. No manual no support. Look elsewhere for cameras Arlo SUCKS!
-
I am no one. (@mahasitavati) reported@ArloSmartHome @TechHive Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.
-
Shaun Verses Sheep (@shaunvssheep) reported@ArloSmartHome App is not muting notifications on IOS... Please fix... No matter how many times I press "mute notifications" in arlo app, it still sends them...
-
Caleb J Robinson (@calebjrobinson3) reported@ArloSmartHome One of the links that was sent to help me was about how to manually record videos. It’s like you didn’t even read what I originally said.
