1 of 5 cameras stopped activating when there is motion

Alaskaoley — Mon, 30 Jul 2018 17:48:33 GMT

I have 5 Arlo cameras around my property that have been installed and working perfectly since last fall. This week one of the cameras, an Arlo Pro 2, stopped activating when there was motion. The other 4 cameras continue to work with motion detection. I moved the camera several times and took it down and walked around with it. No motion detection at all. The “walking man “ icon is there and blacked in for the camera. I deleted the camera and reinstalled it to the base station but that didn’t help. I can manually turn the camera off and on, make recordings, etc. But no motion detection. I checked and my firmware is up to date. Seems the problem is isolated with this camera.

At any stage did you try setting the system to Disarmed and then back to whatever mode you use to record?

Or reboot the base?

Yes I did a disarm and reset the base station. The problem really seems isolated to the one camera

Yes I tried that and did a factory reset of the base station. Set all the cameras back up and still have the same issue with motion detection on the one camera

I'm having the same problem.

Started last week. Have 4 cameras on my system. This camera was added 4 months ago.

I had the same problem with my outside camera which i keep plugged in and the battery in. After trying everything I could, I called for online help and they had me do everything again. BUT she finally gave me a SOLUTION! She had me unplug it and see if it detected motion while just on battery. It still didn't. Then she had me take the battery out and plug the camera back in. It then started detecting motion. Then, I put the battery back in without unplugging it and it still worked. I just hope it holds up now! Hope this helps you and others.

Mine are battery only. Yesterday I decided to inspect the camera beyond the cursory once-over I did when the problem started. I took the battery out as part of the inspection and didn’t see anything wrong with the camera. I put the battery back in and a minute later, the motion detection was working again. Something simple I should have tried first. Hopefully the problem won’t repeat and the issue is resolved.

* Sorry* The problem is it quits working at least 3 times a day. It has not stopped we did the same with all cameras.

Is anyone ekse having the exact same issue with Batteries only, or all Arlo Caneras?

2 Cameras are constantly going off for weeks now. This is beyond frustation.

Any help would be appreciated.

Someone said to Resent all Cameras to the Base unit, in other words Resink all Cameras , like staring over again. Trying this later.

I know one thing this is a huge issue, that truly needs fixing now.

Excuse me for any spelling* mistake I am exhausted resetting these Cameras and not getting enough sleep.

Just to clarify for future readers, my affected camera is battery only also.

Plugging it in and following these steps fixed it.
