topic Installed new Arlo app and tried to add cameras and Base Station but doesn't find it in Arlo Pro 2

My devices didn't move over to the new Arlo app

Do I have to re add all my devices when moving from legacy to new app?? Why didn’t they move over with my account?

No, you do not need to add back your devices. Why they don;t show up in the new app, I don't have a clue. If you deleted the Legacy app, reinstall it and see if they show up there. If not you will probably need to call Customer Support to get the issue resolved. Sounds like a back-end/account problem to me.

HI @AuntRi

Did this occur on the Android or iOS app? Which Device/Phone/Model/OS are you using?

@AuntRi

Are you still experiencing this issue? Did you try & remove & re-install the new Arlo app?

Hi all! I have installed the new app and tried to add my cameras and base station and it just never finds them. Any suggestions? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but that didn't help either.

Did you remove the cameras and base from the old app? That wasn't necessary.

If you didn't remove them, then you should be seeing them the new app - no need to add them again (assuming you are using the same account). Are you seeing them in the web interface?

New Arlo app on Android

I updated to the Arlo app today on my Android phone. I log into the app and my base station and all my cameras are gone. I'm sure I could go through and set everything up again but would rather avoid it if possible.
I can log in and it just gives me a blank screen with add device.

I didn't do anything with the old app, its still working. Its just the new app doesn't seem to be able to find any of my devices, just spins and spins and says try again. 😞

Hey gaterchick7,

As StephenB mentioned, have you tried checking on the web client on your computer to see if you're able to see your camera?

Hi @Nailem750

Have you tried contacting customer support regarding this issue? I have attached the link here for you - Arlo Tech Support

@StephenB @JessicaP I'm having a similar sounding problem. The Arlo Legacy app is working just fine on my iPhone, still, but after installing the new Arlo app on it does not list all of my cameras, or even the base station on the main page (although it does seem to be aware that we have a base station as it shows up elsewhere). I checked the arlo.com web interface and there as well only one of my cameras appears. Trying to add and detect a second camera in the iOS app doesn't seem to work - it just spins for a while and reports that no new devices could be found.

Thanks.

I had the exact same thing happen, 3 of my 6 Pro2 cams are outside, mounted high. I pay the $10 subscription rate and this new app acts like I am a brand new customer. Arlo just hit my bank account recently. Legacy app shows base station off line. New app wouldn't even see base station until i did a factory reset. I spent a small fortune on this system a year ago...now i cant call support (after 90 days) without paying more?!?!

@BeeDeeEss,

You have a 1 year warranty, so yes, you can call Customer Support. I don't believe that Arlo is enforcing the 90 day rule. Be sure to contact them at:

JessicaP,

I went online to the Arlo website and it still asks if I want to install a device. Its getting down to the wire and i'm really getting worried this is not going to ever work. 😞

i've tried to uninstall and reinstall on my phone and my husbands phone and its not working on either one. Still just spins and spins then says try again.

Cameras and base do not show up in new app. Arlo Pro VMB400.

roynpj — Fri, 27 Sep 2019 22:26:47 GMT

Downloaded new app. Signed in, No cameras and no base station. I thought everything was supposed to carryover to the new app. Cameras still working in old app. Lights on base station still green. Rebooted phone, reinstalled app, no change. Do I need to add new devices? Log in on computer...same deal, no cameras no base. Using Chrome, is that an issue? Tried adding device, does not find base station. Lights still green. Cycled power, no device. Lights still green. Now what?
