Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Hot Dice (@WisconsinSport6) reported@ArloSmartHome Former customer here. Don't buy Arlo. Whatever they promise now they'll change after you buy it. This company is in bad financial shape and will take your money and run. Beware.
-
Dante Hinojosa (@dinferno21) reported@ArloSmartHome Worst product ever definitely get a @ring instead
-
ARLO THE NIGHTMARE (@ArloSmartHomes) reported@ArloSmartHome No, it doesn’t pair well at all. In fact, it is one of the worst cameras in existence. #pos
-
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.
-
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”
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
missy (@missy49179801) reported@ArloSmartHome please DM me about issue w a new phone being distrusted and unable to get help from Support for my Arlo Pro 4 iOS app lock out. You time out the app two step verification while I’m looking at email on the same device& it becomes an endless circle of frustration.
-
Stud Sterling (@StudSterling) reported@ArloSmartHome As I shop for a different brand of camera thanks to your EOL announcement, I’ll be sure to tell as many people as I can along the way why you’re the last, and worst, choice. Maddening.
-
chuck gasaway (@ChuckGasaway) reported@OffBalanze @ArloSmartHome Agreed. With essential functions shutting down, our VMC4030 cameras will be basically useless. I can live without firmware updates for awhile... but... Arlo won't be a part of any decision matrix when looking for replacements.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Bill Kampouris (@BillKampouris) reported@ArloSmartHome Your cameras suck and so do you as a company. DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE!
-
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.
-
Chris’s Reviews & Unboxings (@C__Start) reportedIt seems the @ArloSmartHome app is broken again as I can’t log in now and get an oops error #arlo #signin
-
Hugo Cruz (@Hugeduar27) reported@ArloSmartHome My Arlo Essential Wireless Security Camera 3 Pack the battery don't work, i have 6 months with this cameras and the life battery is around 1 hour... i need help with this...
-
Arun 🇮🇳🇺🇸 (@arunt2016) reported@ArloSmartHome #arlo is not compatible with iPhone 14. No way to get help from support.
-
Save Lives! (@BrotherBourbon) reportedHey @ArloSmartHome I just bought a whole system on Ring because your chat is terrible and you can’t get anyone on a call. Worst customer support I’ve ever seen.
-
Craig Allen (@CraigAllen0921) reported@ArloSmartHome WTF Arlo. Will not sell me my upgrade cameras because I live in NC or is it because I'm not woke! I'm a huge @NETGEAR fan with a lot of their product. I'm about to throw everything out and go find the equipment else where! UNBELIEVABLE
-
AmericanMade (@AmericanMadeCPM) reported@ArloSmartHome What a difficult time I have had with any customer support from Arlo. It’s been terrible. 17x trying to update a firmware update with an existing camera. On the phone an hour. Had to buy a new camera. Absolutely terrible experience.
-
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?
-
Jason Abbate (@JasonBrobbate) reportedCurious why @ArloSmartHome ****** their user interface to tears? There was nothing wrong with it you **** heads
-
🏎 (@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?
-
Jason Desaulnier (@Desaulnier27) reported@ArloSmartHome why does the geofencing option for my cameras not work? Please help
-
Victorious HazaEL (@Praise2ADONAI) reported@CeriCerilou @shumirunnessa Beware that they may hack your cameras. My cameras were hacked and I was unable to access them. One, they set the image upside down and denied me access to change it. Another, suddenly, the company decided to discontinue service @ArloSmartHome I know 👇🏾 #JustAnotherCoincidence
-
🅷🅴🅰🆅🅴🅽 🆂🅴🅽🆃 * 🅰🆁🅼🆈 🆅🅴🆃 (@HeavenS98386596) reported@mbmcrae Fix your current problems! Where is the complete user manual for the Arlo Ultra 2 XL? Is this customer service? I think I bought an @ArloSmartHome boat anchor!
-
Stockman Republican (@EBiggunz) reported@ArloSmartHome Your always happy to help Unless you purchased a Pro 2 series, then 0 help, TRUE? Your always happy to help except you produced a model with a battery that can’t be replaced and it dies in 2-6 years Again, no support, Correct?
-
Connie Moulaison (@conniemoulaiso) reported@ArloSmartHome @SusannWalters @Pocketlint I have 9 camera I purchased them when Arlo advertised that I would not need a monthly subscription. On April 24th 2026 I lost the features when they did an update. I’m on a fixed income & this was an investment in my home security. Arlo’s technical advisors are no help!
-
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!
