Arlo ultra constant motion trigger

cyberal — Sat, 14 Dec 2019 04:05:00 GMT

Need help,
I am having issues with my arlo security cameras, specifically with my arlo ultra cameras. The problem is that it is constantly detecting motion when there is none. I already tried removing and re syncing them, restarting the arlo base station, and even restarting my router. They are in good range of the base station as well. Also. I noticed that it won't detect a person or vehicle like it would before, all the notification says is motion detected and it will do it every minute and sometimes record for 5 minutes at a time. My arlo pro 2 cameras are working perfectly, it is only the ultras having the issues. I tried emailing arlo and it's been two days and they haven't replied back and I can't be without that specific security camera for too long. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time in advance

You are not alone. It was caused by a firmware update on Dec 4th. 🙂 Still no fix in site.

Yes, I would really love if an Arlo moderator or Arlo employee like @JamesC would be kind enough to provide us an update on the Arlo Ultra camera reporting constant motion for all those affected by the Dec 4. Ultra Base station firmware update.

Please James or anyone. What is an approx. ETA for a fix?

The development team is hard at work to resolve these reported issues. I do not have an ETA for a fix to be released but will provide an update as soon as I have more information.
