-
d@nielle (@daniellemrubio) reported@ArloSmartHome I cannot log in on app or browser or reset my password. I get an error each time and it tells me to contact support but then says I don’t have access to support. Can you help me so I can use the system I paid hundreds of dollars to install? This is insane.
-
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!
-
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.
-
Mircea Piturca (@mirceadesign) reported@ArloSmartHome has probably the worst customer support ever. I have contacted them several weeks ago and I still did not received any response. Amazing how these companies treat customers nowadays
-
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
-
Jason Abbate (@JasonBrobbate) reported@ArloSmartHome technical support is trying to give me support based off the old Interface choices. Your own tech support line can’t even help me navigate this UI overhaul. What a failure
-
Noel Charath (@nchara1) reported@ArloSmartHome what is going on with your all devices. They are going offline today for many users
-
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.
-
Lucy ❤️🇺🇸🗽 (@MsLucyKim) reported@SAMA92458684 @ArloSmartHome We are having the same problem today. It’s not working.
-
I am no one. (@mahasitavati) reported@ArloSmartHome @Pocketlint Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.
-
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.
-
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
-
Corey Crooks (@cdcrooks) reported@ArloSmartHome recently purchased Pro4 Spotlight with Hub. Cameras keep randomly dropping while others on the same hub stay connected. Sometimes they reconnect. What is the fix?
-
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?
-
TeeVeeTee (@TeeVeeTee1776) reported@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?
-
Merryfield Homes (@MerryfieldHomes) reported@ArloSmartHome can someone please reach out to me. Your chat support is not resolving my issue
-
Zephyr Linda Miller (@Zephyrmiller) reported@ArloSmartHome Why can't I get my new phone to be "trusted" by Arlo online. Now it won't trust any of my devices, computer or iPad, not new. I can't find a phone number anywhere and when I tried to chat, the response was "please put this in different terms. I'm new". Somebody please help me.
-
ناصر محمد الأمريكي (@nasiralamreeki) reported@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.
-
I am no one. (@mahasitavati) reported@ArloSmartHome @verge Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.
-
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???
-
Ian Ireland (@amracinggreen) reported@ArloSmartHome Customer support? Endless scripted troubleshooting I’ve already done, no evidence they’ve read previous case notes, no continuity, no ownership, and no attempt to actually solve the problem. 2/4
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
-
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
-
Christopher Hahn (@ChrisHahn14) reported@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.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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”
-
Alex Mereness (@MerenessAlex) reported@ArloSmartHome I’ve spent well over $700 into this system, based on promises and claims made by you. It’s disappointing that you now choose to go back on said promises, I understand not supporting old hardware, but effectively bricking/paywalling the system unless more money is spent is trash.
