    So 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

    @ArloSmartHome Why is it so hard to get help ? It seems so many people are having trouble with battery problems and I need help ! You have to have a subscription to receive live support ? My cameras don’t work !

    @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.

    I should have listened to the reviews @ArloSmartHome had terrible customer service reviews for a reason. Buy something else. Not this.

    @ArloSmartHome Any idea of a time fix? We’ve had bears come by when I’m out. Not cool. I bought cameras for a reason.😬 If not fixed , we’re going to have to move to a different service/camera. It’s been WAY too long safety wise. How about you go back to a prior release for us?

    @ArloSmartHome The absolute worst doorbell ever made! No support help, can even speak to a live person. Don’t wast your money!

    @ArloSmartHome please have my case #43366554 addressed and handled immediately. 26 cameras, 3 base stations are now useless paperweights costing me thousands of $ because my subscription is not working any longer.

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

    @ArloSmartHome why are your doorbell speakers so bad? I talk through it with the volume set at 100% and people barely hear me.

    Looking for a terrible example of an #aichatbot? Look no further than @ArloSmartHome! Truly an atrocious experience.

    @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!

    @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.

    @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.

  • Finchwizard

    @ArloSmartHome Terrible company and products. People who used them from the start were beta testers and have now been thrown aside from End of Life products. Stay away and literally chose any other company. Its a disgrace.

    @ArloSmartHome how the hell does someone get to speak w CS person? I’m locked out of my own damn cameras on the app. If I don’t hear from someone soon, I’m gonna trash these things and buy another company’s cameras. There is NOTHING worse than menu aftr menu of support w no help

    @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

    @ArloSmartHome Guys your support is unbelievably BAD .... first time I've had to use it and it's absolutely archaic in the way it operates. No access to your support cases and the WORST chatbot assistant I've come across in a very long time. Honestly will have a direct influence on any future purchase or comment from me.

    @ArloSmartHome I have been with Arlo for four years. I got an EOL notice, so I bought new equip today. I was charged twice for the cams and customer support can't/won't help me. Today's interaction was the worst CS experience I have had w/ any Co in years. #NPSscore is Zero!
