How do we get the free trial of Arlo Smart Premier? It says 9.99 at checkout.

I see Arlo Smart on my App which I just updated and on my Browser feed. I am a Premier member. However, when I attempt to Manage Arlo Smart, no camera's appear. When I try to set up e911 and click that I agree to terms, it states I do not have the correct plan???

"When using cloud activity zones, your Arlo camera only records and notifies you when it detects motion inside of the activity zone. This feature ensures that you see what’s important and reduces the amount of unwanted alerts and recordings."

Please help me understand why when I setup an acitvity zone, I still receive notifications outside of the zone area. The system still records ALL motion that is in view of the camera.

I have been trying to upgrade my free subscription to the Elite and keep getting errors saying 'the subscription service is down please try again later'

Is Arlo Smart and Paid subscription service available in the UK?

I have six arlo lights split between two bridges. All are working just fine but when I go to the "Manage Arlo Smart" screen three of the lights are not listed (all are connected to the same bridge), so I cannot access the Smart options for them. Chat support did not provide any help.

Can you confirm if Arlo Smart is available in the UK? If not, you should really take it off the subscription options. It’s there in orange text underneath the normal package options. The only thing that indicates limited feature is the e911 being US only

Cloud activity zones do not work and Person detection does not stop motion detection. I am getting way to many notifications. Being a software developer, I am curious to know how much testing in house and in the field was done before this service was released to the public. Right now I am on the 30 day trial but there is no way I am paying for this service in it's current working condition.

Divvydave,

Arlo Smart is currently available only in the US. An announcement will be made when it becomes available in other countries.

JamesC,

Can you address my issues with the performance of the new Smart features? They do not work as advertised. This is becoming a real problem because I am getting more notifications than I did before the Smart features were released.

Re: Introducing Arlo Smart - FAQ & Resources

JamesC — Mon, 11 Jun 2018 21:28:45 GMT

DarthJedi,

Do you have the "Other" toggle switched off under your Arlo Smart settings for that camera? You can find this under Settings > Manage Arlo Smart > select desired camera > toggle off "Other". This will allow only "People" notifications to be sent.

@JamesC you should speak to your Twitter team because they said the opposite

Re: Introducing Arlo Smart - FAQ & Resources

DarthJedi — Tue, 12 Jun 2018 11:30:06 GMT

JamesC,

The Other is off. I don’t mean to be rude but it is self explanatory to have Other toggled off. Just having Person on still triggers on motion. I get notified when cars go by. The videos are labeled Motion for when cars go by and Peron when it detects people. There is a problem that needs to be fixed.

This new Arlo Smart release is so confusing! I'm in Australia and was first made aware of it as my Apple Arlo app was updated saying it now has this Arlo Smart feature. "Cool", I thought. So I Googled it and it indeed sounded awesome. I saw it had a free 1-month trial, so I signed up by following the links. Not only was I charged (no free trial!), but even though the subscription clearly states it includes Arlo Smart and the website indicates the only feature not available outside the USA is the e911 thing, it does not work. Support is not helpful - I've tried them twice. Twitter is saying it's not available outside USA, then saying it is available in all countries - https://twitter.com/ArloSmartHome/status/1005127461292503040 - what's going on!?

I love Arlo, but dealing with them can be really painful sometimes.

Arlo smart has been out for over a week now and when I got to Settings > Manage Arlo Smart > It still isn't showing any cameras. Says no cameras found, while all of my cameras are perfectly functional. My subsription just says "Premier" but when I click on change plan it shows I have the "Arlo Smart Premier." Why aren't my cameras showing up in the Manage Arlo Smart section? I don't have any of the "Smart" features as a result.

Re: Introducing Arlo Smart - FAQ & Resources

vmh64 — Thu, 14 Jun 2018 23:10:04 GMT

I have the same exact problem, not all my equipment is showing as available in the SMART menu. Half my lights are not there. Other half of lights and my cameras are showing available for SMART settingsz

Don't know if this will work for you, but I downgraded from the premiere subscription to basic then immediately upgraded back to Premiere and all of my cameras were made available and I was able to start accessing the smart features.

Re: Introducing Arlo Smart - FAQ & Resources

vmh64 — Thu, 14 Jun 2018 23:42:41 GMT

If that is a solution then the company should be able to do that from the back end. Clearly it’s a programming problem. They asked me to undo my set up, pull all my batteries and start the setup all over. I have spent a lot of time fine tuning my system and I don’t want to lose all my work when I know the problem is not on my end. Did you end up paying premiere twice?

Re: Introducing Arlo Smart - FAQ & Resources

clintola1 — Thu, 14 Jun 2018 23:46:29 GMT

I agree it's their problem. It seems like a glitch in their system and from what I read reference other people trying to deal with their tech support I didn't feel like waiting to see if my subscription would eventually update so I just did it myself. I didn't pay twice because it refunded me a prorated amount for my initial subscription then I started over when I resubscribd..

I’m in the same boat in Australia. I even got an email saying it was available. Logged in. Told me I could upgrade and would be a month free AND would get smart features. No months free got charged straight away and now been told too bad so sad it’s actually not available to you. Downgraded last week and still no refund on a yearly subscription. Scam
