Arlo Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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.
-
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”
-
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!
-
Colin (@wHENigEToFF) reportedSo sick of @ArloSmartHome cams. Constant issues. I was sold on the features, but 2 out of 4 appear offline constantly; I'm lucky if a battery lasts 2 weeks on the optimized setting NOT the 3 or 6 months Arlo claims; my Apple TV sees them fine, but MY.Arlo sees them rebooting. FML

I am no one. (@mahasitavati) reported@ArloSmartHome @verge Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.
-
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
-
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
-
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.
-
Alex (@alex__0113) reported@ArloSmartHome researched chowing your cameras and quickly regretting it. Not interested in you using you help portal which is useless. DM me an email address that I can email normally. Your CVR prices on your website do not reflect what you actually want !!! Not impressed !!!
-
Awake In The Matrix (@WakeInTheMatrix) reported@ArloSmartHome has some of the WORST customer support
-
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?
-
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 @Pocketlint Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.
-
mrspeeed (@mrspeeed4) reported@ArloSmartHome EOL policy is trash will not be buying anymore arlo products and giving you poor reviews where I can
-
C (@CGurciullo) reported@ArloSmartHome @Arlo - stop advertising new products while you are scamming your existing customer base. Your "end of life" scam is nothing but a money grab. We paid good money for a product that you are artificially shutting down (unless we pay you more money).
-
Bailey (@ColinBaileyUK) reported@androidcentral It confirms one essential point. The included at purchase, 7 day cloud storage agreement, is being unilaterally reneged by Arlo. Poor show, dreadful customer approach @mbmcrae @ArloSmartHome
-
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.
-
Matt (@MWillner2) reportedRug-pull by @ArloSmartHome. Purchased two Arlo Baby’s when they were advertising free cloud storage and now they took it away. This is poor business practice. Also there’s no way to get any service support online unless you pay money for a plan. Do better!
-
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.
-
Jason Abbate (@JasonBrobbate) reportedCurious why @ArloSmartHome ****** their user interface to tears? There was nothing wrong with it you **** heads
-
ΔLEYΔ N00R (@uhleyuhdoe) reported@ArloSmartHome This is not the issue, unfortunately. The issue is that the system is interfering with our internet speed
-
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!
-
Tim Kivi (@timkiviprime) reported@ArloSmartHome Do not under any circumstances by Arlo products. Their suport is terrible and the products do not connect to HomeKit
-
mauriciobond (@mauriciobond23) reported@ArloSmartHome Worst quality control and customer service I’ve seen in a while.

-
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?
-
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.
-
LakeShowFresh (@LakeSkol) reported@ArloSmartHome @C__Start It’s crazy. It works on iPad intermittently but on my iPhone completely offline. Simultaneously
-
mrspeeed (@mrspeeed4) reported@ArloSmartHome Product is garbage
-
taylorpineiro (@taylorpineiro) reportedLooking for a terrible example of an #aichatbot? Look no further than @ArloSmartHome! Truly an atrocious experience.

T (@PondrPowered) reported@ArloSmartHome is your system down???
