Wireless doorbell no picture in feed

alreadyinuse — Sat, 30 Nov 2024 17:55:24 GMT

I got a wireless doorbell about a month ago and everything was working great for the first couple weeks. Now when there is a recording for it and I try to watch it in feeds all I get is a blank white screen, morning, noon or night. The thumbnail for the recording is normal. The notification picture for motion at the doorbell I get on my watch is a regular picture. When I go to live feed anytime of day everything is OK but all of the recordings for the last week or two have just been blank white screens when I try to watch them. This is through the app on both my phone and iPad. I do not know what they are like on the web dash board because I have not been able to access that on anything for at least two weeks.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Remove the doorbell from your account, reset it and add it back. Any better?

Well, I installed the wireless floodlight cameras that I picked up on the Arlo Black Friday sale yesterday afternoon and when I armed everything to test them I got a couple hits on the doorbell and it worked fine. Even in the dark when it might get some glare from the side of the doorway it worked fine.

I have no idea what is going on.

Are you still seeing the white squares for past recordings?

The recordings that are just white screens are still just white screens. It has not activated since I installed and tested the wired floodlight cameras Saturday but it worked correctly Saturday.

Can you try logging out of the account and logging back in. If that has the same behavior can you try uninstalling the app and reinstalling it please.

I have done those things repeatedly with the same results.

As an update the doorbell was activated over night and once again just a plain white screen when I try to watch the video. I guess am missing the point of a security camera that just shows blank white video. I am starting to regret updating my Arlo cameras instead of going with another brand.
