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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Josh (@jblanier) reported@ArloSmartHome finally pushed me over the edge… after debating on replacing the battery powered cameras and looking at @Ubiquiti equipment I’ll be replacing all Arlo smart home devices with unifi, however the issue is where I don’t have PoE.
-
Jason Desaulnier (@Desaulnier27) reported@ArloSmartHome why does the geofencing option for my cameras not work? Please help
-
T Guthrie (@Guppy7T) reported@ArloSmartHome System appears to be down. numerous reports on downdetector
-
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
-
KerriEngebrecht (@kerri0413) reportedSeriously for three weeks I have been working to replace a stinking power cord for @ArloSmartHome - I am ready to end my subscription because I cannot recharge my cameras and am paying for nothing with them. Chats end abruptly. Need help.
-
mrspeeed (@mrspeeed4) reported@ArloSmartHome Product is garbage
-
Chris’s Reviews & Unboxings (@C__Start) reportedIt seems the @ArloSmartHome app is broken again as I can’t log in now and get an oops error #arlo #signin
-
Tungen Gasche (@TungenGasche) reported@ArloSmartHome How many times an hour does an "unexpected error" have to occur before it's not "unexpected" any more?
-
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
-
Joey Bartz (@JoeyBartz) reported@koyote19 @ArloSmartHome Have they updated you on this? I hate paying for a service that is not working. I called customer service and they said their software is cooked and the engineers are working on it.
-
Bat Attitude (@AttitudeBat) reported@ArloSmartHome ARLO…. This is Your ELO! Bad, business decision. No one forced to upgrade will stay with your system. Shame on you… wouldn’t stay if it was free now. Snakes!
-
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?
-
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”
-
Chris Szmergiel (@SzmergielChris) reported@BeljicaPeak @ArloSmartHome Even better they still lie to their android users forcing them to turn on insecure permissions. I dropped Arlo completely after they doubled down on the permissions.
-
🅷🅴🅰🆅🅴🅽 🆂🅴🅽🆃 * 🅰🆁🅼🆈 🆅🅴🆃 (@HeavenS98386596) reported@mbmcrae Fix your current problems! Where is the complete user manual for the Arlo Ultra 2 XL? Is this customer service? I think I bought an @ArloSmartHome boat anchor!
-
Denise (@DeniseGratia) reported@ArloSmartHome I'm waiting for my turn in the chat room and I've been waiting for over an hour and 4 people have gone thru the queue. Your service is especially terrible. The only thing you're really good at is billing.
-
Jason Abbate (@JasonBrobbate) reported@ArloSmartHome would be cool if you fixed your geofencing. When the program says ‘all devices’ but activates when anyone leaves or comes. **** you. I hope you go bankrupt
-
Evan Cook (@cook1122) reportedI spent $100 on an @ArloSmartHome wired doorbell. I would have rather lit it on fire, cause it may have given me more joy than dealing with their terrible products, apps, and excuse of customer service. I would NEVER purchase from them again.
-
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
-
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.
-
I am no one. (@mahasitavati) reported@ArloSmartHome @Pocketlint Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.
-
Arun 🇮🇳🇺🇸 (@arunt2016) reported@ArloSmartHome #arlo is not compatible with iPhone 14. No way to get help from support.
-
Jason Abbate (@JasonBrobbate) reported@ArloSmartHome please fire whoever designed this interface. This is the worst thing I have ever seen in my life.
-
N (@nbbirch22) reported@ArloSmartHome why are your doorbell speakers so bad? I talk through it with the volume set at 100% and people barely hear me.
-
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!
-
SAMA (@SAMA92458684) reported@ArloSmartHome Unfortunately I couldn’t log into my account from my phone or from any other devices. I tried to do all the steps that mentioned in the website through the society experience please, I need help to login .
-
Brian (@safcbee) reported@ArloSmartHome Hey! Can anyone reach out and help determine why the batteries in my Arlo Ultra 2 cameras are shockingly bad? The last a matter of days rather than months as advertised..
