Camera will not stream or motion detect

Camera will not stream consistently or motion detect.

I have a indoor camera

VMC2040Ar1.2

1.16.0.0_835_327e250_6b62c7b

And this thing will not stay connected for more than a short period of time. We use the camera to monitor my child, however this is useless.

In the room next door we have another arlo camera (baby monitor) which works fine. Baby monitor is further away from my wifi access point as well.

Please help.

gonzilla80,

When you say it won't stay connected, do you mean the camera times out after 30 minutes when live streaming? All Arlo cameras do this by design. The only exception is the Arlo Baby camera which you seem to indicate is working fine.

For sure wont stay connected for 30 mins. Its intermediate. Sometimes it will connect right away sometimes it wont connect at all and just have the spinning wheel. Meanwhile the baby monitor for the most part comes right on.

I would say the longest Ive been able to keep the indoor camera streaming is 4-5 minutes tops.
