    @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.

    @SAMA92458684 @ArloSmartHome We are having the same problem today. It’s not working.

    @ArloSmartHome is your system down???

  • edmoreau
    Ed Moreau (@edmoreau) reported

    I have been spammed by @ArloSmartHome for a few weeks about a sale. I own several Pro 4 cameras and have questions about a newer model. But the AI chat (which IS NOT very intelligent at all) refuses to connect to a human because my cameras are too old. WHAT THE ACTUAL **** ?

    @ArloSmartHome Thanks, but it doesn’t help. It appeared plans, including LTE, were provided by Arlo & outside LTE not recommended. Conflicting cellular info has halted a Go2 purch a live agent could easily clarify. Seems bad social media is only way to get attention/answers to product Q’s.

    @ArloSmartHome customer service is trash

  • taita1965
    Frank (@taita1965) reported

    Tried to swap my broken camera for new one in my Arlo Secure Single Camera subscription. This used to be flawless but @ArloSmartHome removed this from the functionality. Now I have to cancel my subscription with still 8 months to go, lose my money and start a new subscription.

  • TheTruthSekr
    Spicy Bits 🤡 Show (@TheTruthSekr) reported

    @Arlo can go F off... Your EOL policy on 4-year old cameras is the last straw. Arlo has made many fumbles & poor service over the years, but I'm searching for new options, and when I find my replacement, I'm telling the whole world. @ArloSmartHome isn't a very smart company

  • GCWebDesigner

    @ArloSmartHome Absolute trash. Never ever buy Arlo.

    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”

  • uxian
    Gerard Krupa (@uxian) reported

    Apparently @ArloSmartHome are raising their prices so they can replace their buggy app with a new shiny buggy app instead of fixing the bugs.

  • mahasitavati
    I am no one. (@mahasitavati) reported

    @ArloSmartHome @verge Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.

  • htsmatt

    @ArloSmartHome I need cables to connect my solar panels to my cameras. Help? Thx

  • BeljicaPeak
    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.

    Arun 🇮🇳🇺🇸 (@arunt2016) reported

    @ArloSmartHome I changed my iPhone device after that I am not able to login back. It's sending the verification code to my email and that's not working. Unfortunately there is no support number.

  • Dean1Michael
    DM (@Dean1Michael) reported

    @ArloSmartHome I love how “out of nowhere” the cameras always disconnect from wifi. It’s great when you’re about to go to sleep and have to instead go outside, take the camera down, and manually reset the battery so it reconnects to wifi. Straight garbage.

  • barczyksm
    Steven Barczyk (@barczyksm) reported

    @ArloSmartHome Based on the bait-and-switch tactics @ArloSmartHome has employed, I can no longer recommend their products. I look forward to joining the class action lawsuit for my 5 cameras if they go through with their plan. $ARLO down almost 64% over the last year.

    @ArloSmartHome How many times an hour does an "unexpected error" have to occur before it's not "unexpected" any more?

  • JosephGruber
    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

  • sdottnicole
    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.

    Melissa (@llprncs) reported

    @ArloSmartHome #junk #disappointed how can such a huge company not get on the phone to help you when you purchase their equipment and now the answer is I should pay to send back the doorbell to get another one because it took them four months and now I can’t return it

    And while I am at it @amazon did NOT care when I tried to explain to them that they were promoting and selling defective trash from @ArloSmartHome less than 90 days and the cameras do not work properly under a covered porch.

  • learningxp
    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.

  • DeniseGratia
    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.

    @ArloSmartHome fix your servers. What good is a “security” system that is down for hours.

  • YYFaridaYY

    @ArloSmartHome is the app down. Can’t connect no matter uninstalling and reinstalling. Web log in works but app doesn’t. All device updates installed

  • JasonBrobbate
    Jason Abbate (@JasonBrobbate) reported

    Love how it takes over 3 weeks for @ArloSmartHome to get back to me to fix my geofencing issues. ‘We have to escalate this to a higher level’ You need to fire your development team and stop outsourcing your help to India who just read scripts. Fix your trash

    @ArloSmartHome @Pocketlint Hey, arlo how can I get a hold of a life person... I have tried every route and cannot get anyone to help me on my arlo back online. And you offer a phone number, which just happens to be one number short of an actual phone number. Can you please give me a number ? I need help.

    @ArloSmartHome tech support is crap. Terrible experience. I’m ripping it off the house and going to buy something else.
