-
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
-
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”
-
AmberChaiT (@AmberChaiT) reported@ArloSmartHome hey idiots!HOW ABOUT ACTUALLY SENDING THE PUSH NOTIFICATIONS THIS YEAR WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOG IN? WOW YOU SYSTEMS ARE ****!
-
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.
-
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.
-
Melissa (@llprncs) reported@ArloSmartHome super disappointed got doorbell in December. Been looking for help back-and-forth. No one will call me.Still not hooked up 30th message back-and-forth. You gonna make me pay for your defective device to send it back. Why can no one help me this is a joke.
-
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?
-
BeljicaPeak (@BeljicaPeak) reported@ArloSmartHome Betcha the arbitrary EOL feature removal = class action. No plans to ever spend time and money on Arlo in the future. Arlo couldn’t even make its touted geofencing function reliably and regularly service was down. Now we are rewarded with EOL. Not me.
-
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!
-
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.
-
TCOLLEGECUSE (@TCOLLEGECUSE) reported@ArloSmartHome @mbmcrae My frustration with your company and its poor customer service has reached a tweetable moment unfortunately. It is fine for a company to discontinue products. That is common, but to not arm your customer success associates with the proper information and

Sharee Nicole (@sdottnicole) reported@ArloSmartHome is there an issue with Trusting new devices for 2FA? My new iPhone and iPad both get error messages when I try to add as trusted devices. My old phone and iPad have been deleted.
-
Evan Cook (@cook1122) reportedI spent $100 on an @ArloSmartHome wired doorbell. I would have rather lit it on fire, cause it may have given me more joy than dealing with their terrible products, apps, and excuse of customer service. I would NEVER purchase from them again.
-
Julie Younglove (@YoungloveJulie) reported@ArloSmartHome has the worst customer service in the world. no phone number, and no live agent in chat. a bot that circles you into nowhere. and all i want is to cancel my account so i stop getting "important updates" for products i no longer own. frustrated af.
-
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.
-
LizRoddy222 (@Roddy222) reported@C__Start @ArloSmartHome @ArloEU Confirming that VMB4000 is down.
-
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.
-
Deryck Evelyn (@deryckev) reported@ArloSmartHome terrible customer service experience. Calls dropped. No call backs for open service requests despite assurances that calls were scheduled.
-
Merryfield Homes (@MerryfieldHomes) reported@ArloSmartHome can someone please reach out to me. Your chat support is not resolving my issue
-
Gerard Krupa (@uxian) reportedApparently @ArloSmartHome are raising their prices so they can replace their buggy app with a new shiny buggy app instead of fixing the bugs.
-
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!

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!
-
I am no one. (@mahasitavati) reported@ArloSmartHome @Pocketlint Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.
-
Steven Loi (@StevenLoi) reported.@ArloSmartHome is the only way to unsubscribe from email alerts (but maintain push notification alerts) is to mark your emails as spam? There is no ability on the website nor mobile app to stop the email alerts (baby monitor) - I've looked everywhere. Help.
-
Ian Ireland (@amracinggreen) reported@ArloSmartHome Customer support? Endless scripted troubleshooting I’ve already done, no evidence they’ve read previous case notes, no continuity, no ownership, and no attempt to actually solve the problem. 2/4

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?
