Arlo Essential 2 and Starlink timeout on streaming

Zmatt — Tue, 19 Dec 2023 18:30:03 GMT

I own 2 dozen Arlo cameras in various locations. I purchased 3 Arlo Essential 2 cameras and connected them to a Starlink router. My problem is the cameras take 30 seconds to connect if they connect at all upon inbound streaming requests. I have tired other brand cameras like Wyze which connect very quickly. Any idea what could be causing this? Network is 5ghz but I have tried the 2.4/5ghz split with no change in behavior.

Zmatt,

Is the delay consistent or is it an intermittent issue upon initiating a live stream? Do you have Arlo cameras that use a different ISP and is the delay for those cameras less?

Delay is consistent and in general performance is terrible. I assumed this was a starlink lag issue, but as stated other cameras (non-arlo) work fine.
