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
-
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.
-
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
-
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
-
Sharee Nicole (@sdottnicole) reported@ArloSmartHome is there an issue with Trusting new devices for 2FA? My new iPhone and iPad both get error messages when I try to add as trusted devices. My old phone and iPad have been deleted.
-
🏎 (@wrinkled_lemon) reported@ArloSmartHome I will never trust your products again. If you can do this to earlier models, what's stopping you from EOL-ing current models a couple of years down the road? Why would I *upgrade* to new models when you can just pull the infrastructural support for it later?
-
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 .
-
Nickalas W. Venables (@TheRealNWV) reportedIn case you're wondering, yes @ArloSmartHome security cameras are currently down. The entire ******* network. So I'm not saying anyone *should* rob anyone, but it certainly would be a good time if you were the kind of person who'd do such a thing.
-
Pepe Reporting (@U_R_Not_A_Woman) reported@ArloSmartHome So you can EOL this product too and not support the hardware that I paid more for? No thanks no one wants your ****.
-
Mobinaut (@mobinaut) reported@ArloSmartHome One more question please because the new app design is so PAINFULLY bad....Which "settings" menus do you mean! there are a ton of settings and we cannot easily identify the one you mean!
-
Steven Barczyk (@barczyksm) reported@ArloSmartHome Based on the bait-and-switch tactics @ArloSmartHome has employed, I can no longer recommend their products. I look forward to joining the class action lawsuit for my 5 cameras if they go through with their plan. $ARLO down almost 64% over the last year.
-
Eric W (@ejtt7ciia) reportedTo add insult to injury, 4 days after a new controversial EoL policy, @ArloSmartHome sends an email about 20% price increases. Congrats Arlo - you lost a lifelong fan after two bad decisions. It's the timing - you have to give users more than a couple months notice...
-
Dayne Turner (@DayneTurner1) reportedArlo EOLing devices that are 5 years old. Piss poor action by this company. Will be moving to someone else after this move. Tisk tisk. #arlo @ArloSmartHome
-
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.
-
T Guthrie (@Guppy7T) reported@ArloSmartHome System appears to be down. numerous reports on downdetector
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Jerry Norman (@JerryNo40834855) reported@ArloSmartHome the worst camera I've purchased sold by Walmart
-
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
-
Mike Woslager (@MikeWoslager) reported@ArloSmartHome returned my system 👍worst customer service ever. No manual no support. Look elsewhere for cameras Arlo SUCKS!
-
Colin Wheeler (@colinpwheeler) reported@ArloSmartHome Your service is terrible. Cannot send a request without a serial number when the request has to do with your security policy. Your company can't get basic languages right. Sigh, amateur hour at the zoo. Not even counting how unstable your entire platform is.
-
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!
-
Ian Ireland (@amracinggreen) reported@ArloSmartHome Thinking of buying Arlo? I’d think twice. An 18-month-old camera fails, it’s just out of warranty, yet I’ve paid a monthly subscription throughout. This isn’t my first poor experience either 1/4
-
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.
-
Shaydie Blue (@Shaydieblue) reportedI should have listened to the reviews @ArloSmartHome had terrible customer service reviews for a reason. Buy something else. Not this.
-
Andy Baryer (@AndyBaryer) reported@tccdoerk @ArloSmartHome @Dlink No but it's two competitors joining forces to help me find this mouse hole!
-
Shaun Verses Sheep (@shaunvssheep) reported@ArloSmartHome App is not muting notifications on IOS... Please fix... No matter how many times I press "mute notifications" in arlo app, it still sends them...
-
Jason Desaulnier (@Desaulnier27) reported@ArloSmartHome why does the geofencing option for my cameras not work? Please help
-
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.
