App showing cameras offline

Spanos — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 13:37:38 GMT

When I open the app the cameras appear offline but the blue light of each camera indicates that the are online. Any suggestions what the problem might be?

Arlo Q Offline

Sämtliche Arlo Q und Arlo Q Plus sind auf beiden Konten an verschiedenen Standorten seit heute offline. Serverprobleme?

(I have posted this repo to another thread, but looks like here is more appropriate)

I own three Arlo Qs at home and they worked just fine till today, but all of them suddenly went offline several hours ago. The motion sensor recoding stopped around 10:30 am Monday in Japan time.

They appear offline in Arlo Secure app v.5.0.1 (8380) in my iPhone and iPad mini (OS v.18.0), and at the My Alro website in my MacBook Pro (OS. v.15.0).

My home Wi-Fi and internet connection is normal, and other apps and devices are working fine.

What I have tried so far are;

- restart Arlo Secure app

- reboot iPhone and iPad

- reboot Wi-Fi router

I do hope this is just a kind of temporary system glitch, rather than Arlo's policy change.

Same!!!

All my Arlo Q and Arlo Baby cameras went offline last night.

My Pro 2 cameras and all other devices are still operating normally.

Am not able to access cameras to do any troubleshooting right now. Of course really bad timing because this is when I need to be able to rely on the cameras.

However, it sounds like it's happened to others so likely an Arlo issue.

@JamesCHELP!

Thanks.

Please don't double-post. Also it generally is best to start your own thread for your issue. Mods will later consolidate them if they think that is appropriate.

All Arlo Baby, Arlo Q offline

Zzzzzzzzzz — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 12:51:11 GMT

All my Arlo Q and Arlo Baby cameras went offline last night. The Pro 2 cameras are still online.

There's another Post in the Arlo Q section of the community about the seemingly same issue. It seems like Arlo Q Plus cameras are down too.

Hopefully a reply and a fix will occur soon....

@JamesC , @ShayneS , @BrookeN my Q is also offline, even after a power cycle.

NMarCH — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 13:27:13 GMT

my arlo Q is also offline.

And no way to reconnect or add (in same WIFI, 2.4GHz, via PC or APP) after reset!

ARLO Q cameras (Qty 5) are offline.

Baz154 — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 13:32:09 GMT

From earlier today, all 5 of my ARLO Q cameras have gone offline. Router, phone and cameras rebooted but still not working. Other ARLO cameras and video doorbell working via a hub to same router remain serviceable.

I am sorry.

I first posted to the thread "Free forever recording as promised for legacy product Arlo Q" instead of starting one by myself because I thought my trouble might be related to Arlo's End-of-Life Policy which terminates free 7-day cloud storage and other support for some old products, while it now appears unlikely.

Anyway, I will never do it again.

My Arlo baby has been offline (solid purple light) for the last few hours.

i can still view on Apple home but not in Arlo app or google home app.

I hope it’s just a server issue that can be fixed soon

We are currently investigating this behavior you are seeing. I will update the community as soon as possible.

Arlo Baby cannot add device - need help!

haas_a — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 14:25:25 GMT

Hi, I have 2 baby Arlo cameras that stopped working today. We removed the device and, after 6 hours of troubleshooting, are completely stuck on how to fix this. We've read through the community forum for tips and tricks to no avail. What I've tried:

> Factory reset several times

> Move it next to the router

> Reset the router

> Try sync via laptop instead of phone

> iPhone Home app

The Baby Arlo is showing up in the iPhone Home app, but I can't seem to add device via the Arlo app.

One possible issue is the Baby Arlo keeps showing on the router page as being connected to 5GHz (despite factory resets), although the phone/laptop with the Arlo app to Add Device is connected to a 2.4GHz.

Thanks in advance!

Arlo babys/Arlo Qs say disconnected/no stream in Arlo app but still post recordings, HomeKit streams

mmk-arlo — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 15:32:03 GMT

I own both 2 Arlo Baby and 2 Arlo Qs. The 2 Arlo Babies show solid purple light, but this seems false, because when I use only cellular on my phone, I can still see motion-prompted recordings being posted to the app, and I can see live stream through Apple's Home app. The problem is that in the Arlo app itself, they show as "disconnected" and you do not show live stream through the Arlo app. Even my router shows internet traffic flowing on all 4 cameras externally.

This looks like a sudden and common problem that others are posting about; Arlo staff, please fix ASAP. Maybe an issue sprouted by the most app software update, in part?

For updates and more information regarding the cameras being offline please go to status.arlo.com.

The development team has identified and resolved an issue that resulted in some users cameras showing offline. You may need to remove and reapply power to restart your camera to allow it to come back online. If you're still experiencing an issue, please let us know.

Do Q's still work?

marcce — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 21:02:49 GMT

All of my Arlo Q's stopped working this morning. They are a combo of purple orange and blue lights. I can see them connected to the wifi network but the cameras will not connect.

Re: Do Q's still work?

Zzzzzzzzzz — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 03:31:48 GMT

@marcce

There was a system issue that occured last night, and there were a couple posts about it that seemed to have been consolidated into one post somewhere that I can't quite find....

Anyway, it seems as if the issue was resolved, and my Arlo Q's and Arlo Baby's are back online. I didn't have to power-cycle or do anything.

Did yours come back? Maybe power-cycle the device, and then the router if that doesn't work?

Camera Intermittently Goes Offline (Essential Indoor Camera, first generation)

RocketmanSFCA — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 18:04:39 GMT

I have a first generation Essential Indoor Camera that I have connected to my system and used for a while (over a year). But periodically (once a month), the camera goes offline. When that happens, I'm typically unable to just power off/power on and have the system find the camera. So I go through Arlo's recommended process: resetting the camera to factory settings, deleting the camera from the app, and trying to add it again. Sometimes that works immediately, but often it doesn't. So I have to revisit periodically, like a few days later. And then magically, one day, it comes back up for another month or two.

Another camera in my house doesn't have this issue.

Both cameras have good access to our WiFi network.

I find this entire process really frustrating because I spend any time at all on it. Hoping the community might have advice.

Questions for the group:

Is this a common issue with Arlo? Essential cameras? First generation Essential cameras?
What solutions might people recommend? I hope the answer isn't 'Upgrade to Essential 2nd Gen'.

Thanks for the help,
