    And while I am at it @amazon did NOT care when I tried to explain to them that they were promoting and selling defective trash from @ArloSmartHome less than 90 days and the cameras do not work properly under a covered porch.

    @ArloSmartHome I bet you don’t even have the proper manual for these cameras. Arlo trash!

    @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!

    @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

    @ArloSmartHome the worst camera I've purchased sold by Walmart

    @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”

  • TheRealNWV
    Nickalas W. Venables (@TheRealNWV) reported

    In 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.

  • taita1965

    Tried to swap my broken camera for new one in my Arlo Secure Single Camera subscription. This used to be flawless but @ArloSmartHome removed this from the functionality. Now I have to cancel my subscription with still 8 months to go, lose my money and start a new subscription.

    @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

    @ArloSmartHome I need cables to connect my solar panels to my cameras. Help? Thx

    @ArloSmartHome @AndroidAuth Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.

    @ArloSmartHome why does the geofencing option for my cameras not work? Please help

  • WisconsinSport6
    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.

    @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.

    @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?

    @ArloSmartHome officially done with arlo. Cameras constantly disconnect now base station no longer connects at all. Garbage, buy @ring

    Hi @ArloSmartHome - fix your network. Don't tell me to DM with my problem. All of us are having issues. A company with good customer service would update their customers on any issues.

  • luisaggie
    Luis Ortiz (@luisaggie) reported

    @ArloSmartHome hi any support on trying to get the redeemable code to work? Currently have an EOL camera system, and we wanted to get our annual subscription, but keep getting error message when trying to suscribe to the annual multi camera plan.

    @ArloSmartHome @verge Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.

    @ArloSmartHome I spent an hour and half yesterday with your team explaining the situation 3 times to 3 different agents. If you don’t have records of those conversations then you can’t help.

  • mbobelian
    Michael Bobelian (@mbobelian) reported

    In less than three years, my Arlo doorbell @ArloSmartHome broke. That's a short lifespan and I can't get anyone to help me with it on the phone or online. I'm disappointed that Arlo won't stand behind its product and the terrible #CustomerService

  • calebjrobinson3
    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.

  • ChuckGasaway
    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.

  • conniemoulaiso
    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?

  • arunt2016

    @ArloSmartHome #arlo is not compatible with iPhone 14. No way to get help from support.

    @ArloSmartHome tech support is crap. Terrible experience. I’m ripping it off the house and going to buy something else.

    @ArloSmartHome why are your doorbell speakers so bad? I talk through it with the volume set at 100% and people barely hear me.
