Arlo pro notifications not working - settings have not changed (very annoyed with constant issues)

Nothappy1234567 — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 11:47:56 GMT

Push notifications suddenly stopped, have reset base, ensure settings are correct and turned cameras on and off. Any other suggestions?

Just in case , I'd uninstall the app and reinstall... very quick and it may work

No Push Notifications

Just want to report that I am NOT receiving any PUSH NOTIFICATIONS to my iPhone or iPad this morning at all, from any of my 7 cameras (on two different bases).

In checking the ARLO Facebook page, I see that I'm not alone, as others have already begun posting the same problem. I am getting the email notifications and the video is showing up in the Library - it's just the Push Notification Alerts that are not working.

Thanks

Replying to my own post above...

In checking your Status page, it says you have fixed the problem of customers not receiving Push Notifications (at 5:16am PT/8:16am ET time). BUT...it is still NOT fixed for me! It is now 8:33am ET where I am on the east coast, and I just walked around to trigger motion on all of my 7 cameras. I got the email notifications, I got the videos in the Library for each one, but still NO Push Notifications, even though your Status page is saying ti was fixed!

Same problem here (redmi note 8 pro, miui 11.0.3). Push notifications have stopped suddenly. Motion sensing and video recording work normally. Uninstalling/installing he app did not solve the issue.

Here the same. A friend of mine has the same problem too. Seems to be at Arlo’s end. Hope they solve it soon cause it’s very inconvenient.

Arlo Pro Suddenly stopped sending push notification - Android phone

Rowben — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 15:22:14 GMT

Suddenly today both my wife and I have stopped receiving notifications. I thought it was strange i didnt get the usual 10am postman notification so i checked the app and i could see there were about 5 recordings I hadn't received notification about. This is out of the blue as yesterday everything was working fine and i haven't updated or changed anything. I hoped that a restart of the base station or my phone would fix the issue. I did both and have since missed another notification. What else can i try? If possible i don't want to have to reset the system and have to re-sync all the cameras again as this would be a pain in the ass.

Anyone else experiencing this issue at the mo?

Status.arlo website states that there was a general notifications problem and that it has been fixed. Unfortunately, it has not been fixed for me.

Problem resolved after contacting support (and logging out and back in for the 5th time).

Thanks for all your help guys, mine was resolved with reinstalling app (or perhaps arlo fixed it in the back end whilst I was performing the uninstall and reinstall process).

From reading up on the issue, it seems arlo have been responsible for causing this many times in the past. It seems basic to perform a notification ‘test’ before making changes/releasing updates.
I’m finding arlo products are very irregular with constant issues mainly caused by arlo, yet arlo take a while to resolve the issue. Technical support is pretty much hopeless hence users having to resort to the community for answers (which I think is part of Arlo’s end game to cut costs in their side). I’ve mentioned to family and friends that I definitely do not recommend purchasing arlo products, it is one annoyance after another!

Though it took an additional 90 minutes for me, past the time that Arlo posted they fixed the problem, my Push Notifications are now all working once again on my cameras.
