-
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?
-
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
-
Andy Baryer (@AndyBaryer) reported@tccdoerk @ArloSmartHome @Dlink No but it's two competitors joining forces to help me find this mouse hole!
-
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???
-
Tungen Gasche (@TungenGasche) reported@ArloSmartHome How many times an hour does an "unexpected error" have to occur before it's not "unexpected" any more?
-
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.
-
Yossarian is PRO-CHOICE and ANTI-FA (@YossarianV5) reported@ArloSmartHome your "customer service" is non-existent. Three cameras functionally inoperable and I can't get any responses worth a **** within a reasonable (it's been a week) amount of time. Really disappointing.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Bailey (@ColinBaileyUK) reported@androidcentral It confirms one essential point. The included at purchase, 7 day cloud storage agreement, is being unilaterally reneged by Arlo. Poor show, dreadful customer approach @mbmcrae @ArloSmartHome
-
FjR (@fjr2320gmailco1) reported@ArloSmartHome I used to like Arlo, I've spent a considerable amount on their products. NOW they refuse to answer my emails regarding a fault in my £179. Door Bell. It mysteriously stopped working, they gave me a few things to try and resolve this issue, none of them worked.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Craig Coppola (@CraigCoppola) reported@ArloSmartHome is so impossible To get off there email blast. Can someone help me please
-
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!
-
Jacob dailey (@Jacobdailey1517) reported@ArloSmartHome might be one of the worst products and app I’ve ever used..
-
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...
-
mrspeeed (@mrspeeed4) reported@ArloSmartHome End of life is bull **** they don't tell you that when you buy their cameras 4 years and they shut your cameras off I won't purchase arlo again
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
-
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
-
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
-
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.
-
Jordan M. Haywood (@jordanmhaywood) reported@ArloSmartHome After >1 year of problem free use, my Arlo Wire-Free Video Doorbell (ADV2001) stopped working & chime box makes loud humming noise. No online support for products w/o subscription (tried the chat function - did not work). HELP @ArloSmartHome
-
BIG Q DOG ✊🏾 (@Qinda808) reported@ArloSmartHome I have 300 archived videos that takes 3 taps to delete.. at this point it will take close to #onethousand tapes to delete archived videos.. your app interface is ****!!
-
Jacob Hernandez (@JJHulk85) reported@ArloSmartHome Why is it so hard to get assistance on my camera, when I do get someone they hang up on me and are talking to someone else while talking to me. Still haven't resolved my camera 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.
-
George Santos (@George__Santos) reportedI just got notified that you are EOL'ing our cameras. Thanks a lot for causing working devices to be thrown in the trash heap. We bought these about 4 years ago. We would have bought Arlo again but if 4 years is all we can expect, forget it. @ArloSmartHome

Matt Barker (@htsmatt) reported@ArloSmartHome I need cables to connect my solar panels to my cameras. Help? Thx
