Time zone messed up - help!!

chamaway — Mon, 26 Sep 2016 22:47:19 GMT

Looks like someone got the time zones messed up and not prepared for daylight savings time. I live in the mountain west and time shows one hour earlier than it is. I tried moving it to other options and no zone will show the correct time. Help!!! Anyone else notice this today?

If you look at Chicago it shows my time as 5:50. If you sent it to Phoenix it shows it as 3:50. Although they are only one hour apart (gmt minus six and seven respectively). Looks like a bug. Anyone have ideas???

Just as an extra datapoint.....I'm PDT and it shows correctly.

FYI: Phoenix and Chicago are indeed two hours apart. (just google "Phoenix Time" and "Chicago Time"). Phoenix doesn't change during DST.

Stubee. Thanks for the quick response. Sorry if I wasn't clear on the issue.

I see that phoenix and Chicago work well. Question is what if you live in the Rockies and use arlo?? If you live in Denver or Salt Lake City as an example, Arlo has no working time zone. Clearly a significant issue.

Would love any help or opinions.

Arlo... please help us out here... You said a ticket would be opened, but no one has sent anything??...

Seems you left an entire United States time zone (mountain) off of your application... does not seem to be hard to determine this is an issue...

Please let us know... thanks!

This is INSANE. Yet another GLARING example that this product was not ready for primetime.

I live in Montata and the Base Station Settings do not have an option for Mountain Time or Daylight Savings Time Zones.

I thought I was losing my mind with all the false alerts I was getting.

I kept checking the schedule that I had set up, and it was right, but hidden away it wasn't right.

This and other gross errors must be fixed immediatly. If not by the end of March, my whole system will be going back.

Netgear - You better be listening... and taking immediate action.

Mountain time zone is missing from firmware on Arlo.

Yeah, the problem is perhaps that Phoenix doesn't go on DST, so right now it is pacific time, not mountain time. Chicago, of course, is an hour ahead.

Arlo, please change the Moutain Zone to Denver or Salt Lake City (or Albuquerque or Durango or Aspen or Helena or....)!

This is going to confuse me whenever I try to schedule.

Firmware!

And it won't help when there's an incident and the cops are confused!

The unfortunate piece here is not only Arlo clearly not up to snuff with such and oversight, but their own people promise one thing and never follow up. They said "we will open a ticket and converse directly with you".... But nothing. Not an email. Not a message. I sent an email to the head of netgear and arlo and nothing back either. Sad. When google and nest move into this space, feel sad that to say arlo most likely won't be able to compete. Let's see if they are even listening. Sad.

I don't know why this discussion is marked "solved."

It isn't.

I just did a reboot and checked version numbers ... NO FIX

chamaway — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 02:34:54 GMT

No idea why it was marked solved. I certainly did not mark it that way. So very odd.

How about the one of us in Guatemala? We don't have any option to get the correct time. I'm very dissapointed. Arlo please include more options for the time zone so we can get it right.

xcell,

Welcome to the community! I believe the time zone you are looking for is GMT -6 (Chicago, Illinois). A good way to test is to adjust the time zone and then take a snapshot from one of your cameras. Then compare the time on the snapshot to your local time to verify if you have found the correct time zone. let me know if this helps!
