Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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.
-
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
-
avfc (@krispycremekef) reported@ArloSmartHome One of the worst purchases I’ve ever made,end of
-
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.
-
AmericanMade (@AmericanMadeCPM) reported@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.
-
LOCK HIM UP 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 (@Gshigs) reported@CNETNews Arlo is a scam. Advertise cloud storage and camera notifications for years - the main reason for choosing them - and then just announce they’re EOLing and shutting it down. Why would anyone buy from @ArloSmartHome again?
-
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???
-
sam morton (@sgmorton) reported@ArloSmartHome I will never reco your products. Killing my camera systems I've invested in for years is poor practice. My cams that I paid for will keep working fine... But only if now years after I purchased them, I start to pay a subscription fee! You can get bent!
-
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.
-
LUGA (@luga2020) reported@ArloSmartHome Still not working…
-
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?
-
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
-
BIG Q DOG ✊🏾 (@Qinda808) reported@ArloSmartHome I have 300 archived videos that takes 3 taps to delete.. at this point it will take close to #onethousand tapes to delete archived videos.. your app interface is ****!!
-
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
-
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!
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
-
Craig Coppola (@CraigCoppola) reported@ArloSmartHome is so impossible To get off there email blast. Can someone help me please
-
Melissa (@llprncs) reported@ArloSmartHome @ring I bet ring doorbell would help me set up my doorbell if I got one from them how is Arlo such a piece of junk the entire company no one can help four months later still no doorbell set up
-
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.
-
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.
-
Gerard Krupa (@uxian) reportedApparently @ArloSmartHome are raising their prices so they can replace their buggy app with a new shiny buggy app instead of fixing the bugs.
-
Jason Abbate (@JasonBrobbate) reported@ArloSmartHome please fire whoever designed this interface. This is the worst thing I have ever seen in my life.
-
I am no one. (@mahasitavati) reported@ArloSmartHome @verge Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.
-
Caleb J Robinson (@calebjrobinson3) reported@ArloSmartHome One of the links that was sent to help me was about how to manually record videos. It’s like you didn’t even read what I originally said.
-
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
-
nooriiiii🇮🇶 (@nunu_nooor) reportedIf you want the absolute worst security camera buy an Arlo @ArloSmartHome
-
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”
-
Citizen Mane (@HoosierFordMan) reported@ArloSmartHome hey Arlo! Maybe you should stop telling people that it’s their internet that causes every single issue that arises with your cameras! I spent two hours chatting with your worthless support team on the app and that’s all they can offer when it’s so clearly hardware
