-
Jason Abbate (@JasonBrobbate) reported@ArloSmartHome I don’t need a link to help me. Your tech support couldn’t even add a device to my account. Your own team can’t even work your stupid interface. Go play in traffic
-
NotBorg (@MagaDplorable) reported@ArloSmartHome bought a Pro 5S 2K to test to replace 9 camera system. I had issue but can't get an support because I don't have account ? this is trial version suppose to be good for 30 days. all I get is spinning when trying to view. your idea of "Trial" sucks no sale
-
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
-
John (@JohnBurke72) reported@ArloSmartHome I have called and used your community support. Your support folks said they've never heard another incident like mine but many people on your community forum have the same issue. Your product is low quality
-
Jeff Karotkin (@jhkarotkin) reported@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!
-
LizRoddy222 (@Roddy222) reported@C__Start @ArloSmartHome @ArloEU Confirming that VMB4000 is down.
-
Ellen Foster (@ellennnfoster) reported@ArloSmartHome is there an outage on your doorbell server? I'm unable to access any smart features and am getting generic motion notifications, no previews, etc. (I have a subscription)
-
Michael Bobelian (@mbobelian) reportedIn less than three years, my Arlo doorbell @ArloSmartHome broke. That's a short lifespan and I can't get anyone to help me with it on the phone or online. I'm disappointed that Arlo won't stand behind its product and the terrible #CustomerService
-
AJG (@AntJGumm) reported@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.
-
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.
-
RoughTradeRadio (@RoughTradeRadio) reported@ArloSmartHome @ArloSmartHome system gone bye bye now--in the trash. Here's to hoping losing a customer hurts 🥂Been replaced with @blinkforhome ; hopefully they will continue to support their products 7 years down the road.
-
Mike Hancock (@GCWebDesigner) reported@ArloSmartHome Absolute trash. Never ever buy Arlo.
-
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.
-
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
-
I am no one. (@mahasitavati) reported@ArloSmartHome @verge Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.
-
Jacob dailey (@Jacobdailey1517) reported@ArloSmartHome might be one of the worst products and app I’ve ever used..
-
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
-
Kristina (@KNanaG1) reported@ArloSmartHome Arlo we have a problem, I can no longer connect to a 2.4 ghz and now my floodlight camera is useless. Can you help?
-
taylorpineiro (@taylorpineiro) reportedLooking for a terrible example of an #aichatbot? Look no further than @ArloSmartHome! Truly an atrocious experience.
-
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.
-
Andy Baryer (@AndyBaryer) reported@tccdoerk @ArloSmartHome @Dlink No but it's two competitors joining forces to help me find this mouse hole!
-
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 will tell them not to use Arlo products ever again after his little stunt.
-
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!
-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
Bill Kampouris (@BillKampouris) reported@ArloSmartHome Your cameras suck and so do you as a company. DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE!
-
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.
-
Justin Edmead (@JustinEdmead) reported@0zFoggy @ArloSmartHome I completely agree. I am fed up with @ArloSmartHome and seriously considering alternatives. The support has been poor for a long time and is not of the quality you'd expect for the price they charge. Not much tangible problem solving from tier 1 support
-
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.
