Arlo Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Shaydie Blue (@Shaydieblue) reportedI should have listened to the reviews @ArloSmartHome had terrible customer service reviews for a reason. Buy something else. Not this.
-
Jason Abbate (@JasonBrobbate) reportedLove 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
-
Geo 🇺🇸 🏳️🌈 🇺🇦 🦋 (@InvizOne) reported@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.
-
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.
-
Donna Rosser (@barefootphoto) reported@ArloSmartHome your customer service and secure plan are a joke. No help.
-
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!
-
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!
-
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?
-
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.
-
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
-
Jason Abbate (@JasonBrobbate) reported@ArloSmartHome Thank you AI slop but it all worked fine. Then you changed UI. Now it’s broke. I’m still waiting for my call back from your awful Pakistan based support team about this issue from 4 weeks ago. I don’t need an article to tell me how to work location services
-
I am no one. (@mahasitavati) reported@ArloSmartHome @Pocketlint Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.
-
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”
-
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.
-
Colin (@wHENigEToFF) reportedSo sick of @ArloSmartHome cams. Constant issues. I was sold on the features, but 2 out of 4 appear offline constantly; I'm lucky if a battery lasts 2 weeks on the optimized setting NOT the 3 or 6 months Arlo claims; my Apple TV sees them fine, but MY.Arlo sees them rebooting. FML
-
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?
-
Farida Yasmin (@YYFaridaYY) reported@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
-
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.
-
Craig Coppola (@CraigCoppola) reported@ArloSmartHome is so impossible To get off there email blast. Can someone help me please
-
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?
-
kEVin in Dallas (@Kev_Bik) reported@WSJ @nicnguyen Stupid decisions=bad business. And hello, you expected to get away with this with social media!? Not. Glad I don’t own them. Never will now. @ArloSmartHome
-
Alex (@alex__0113) reported@ArloSmartHome Where do I start… •Your 6month battery claim appears to be more like 1 week •you have more or less double your CVR prices • Why can CVR not be locally stored • I can’t view my cameras live on a laptop • poor customer service Poor company. Would never choose again
-
nooriiiii🇮🇶 (@nunu_nooor) reportedIf you want the absolute worst security camera buy an Arlo @ArloSmartHome
-
Eddie Omar Garcia (@Eddiiee_G10) reported@RyanAma9 @ArloSmartHome I dont think my arlos are that old, but mine are definitely not working.. Maybe its just a bug right now? Mine were working fine earlier.. still even get notifications.
-
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
-
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!
-
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
-
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.
-
DaZi (@daziphoto) reported@Its_Jamin @ArloSmartHome I’m trying to but it gives me a warning that I’ll lose that feature. I shouldn’t lose it. They’re aware of the conflict and are working on a fix.
-
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.
