Arlo Ultra After alert notification library taking 5 mins + to update

Craig-S — Fri, 18 Oct 2019 20:46:36 GMT

Hello

I’m getting alert notifications with the screen shot thumbnail (iphone) I log in to view and it’s taking at least 5 minutes minimum before my library will update with the new notification. This has been happening for approximately 10 days. Before this recorded activity would replay for the first 3 to 4 seconds in slow motion then resume normal speed. This has been happening for over a month now. It seemed to resolve itself about two weeks ago for a day or two but now seems to play ok for the first 2 to 3 seconds then goes slow mo for 3 to 4 seconds (or freezes) then resumes normal speed (with the person 3 to 4 seconds further on) for the remainder of the clip. It is extremely annoying considering now this is my 4th set of Ultras which have all had problems which the tech team have confirmed after spending several hours in total on telephone calls with them. On top of this I’ve paid to upgrade to 4K recording which has worked intermittently until I’ve diagnosed how to fix this myself (2 hour telephone conversation with tech help who didn’t have a clue). It was a simple drag and drop exercise. Apologies for the rant but I’m giving the cameras/Arlo a fair go but I’m certainly not getting the service I’ve paid for. Please James can you help? Regards Jason.

The development team is investigating reports of this issue. I will provide an update when I have more information.

Hello JamesC

Thanks for the speedy reply. I hope there is some feedback/remedy soon, will there be any compensation offered for the unreliable upgraded service I’ve enrolled in? Regards, Jason.

I am having the same exact issue. Taking almost 10 minutes for video to show up in my library, regardless if i'm using my Iphone X or desktop.

Same issue here. Very frustrating when you can see something happened 8 mins ago but I am unable to view the footage. I agree with compensation for the lack of service. I know it is free for the first year but with over a month now of issues I feel a free month or two of subscription may go a long way.

It is very frustrating. I’ve also upgraded to the “PVR” service and paid upfront for the year. Got to say after the amount of teething problems I’ve encountered I’m beginning to lose faith. Hoping JamesC comes back with a resolution.

I have been pleased with arlo ultra until today. I get notified but no pic or anything in library. It started today and I've not changed any settings.

Update:
I think I found the problem, I lost internet over night and when I got up this morning the net was working again. A power cycle on the hub seems to have fixed the issue. Maybe the hub didn't like losing internet and reconnecting with out a power cycle???

Crazy thing is that it is only happening with the Ultra cameras. I have to Pro 3 cameras connected to Arlo Hub and the video from those show up in the library right away. The Ultra camera videos do not and I am subscribed to PVR service. Definitely an issue with Ultra and probably PVR.
