Remove Camera From Homekit

Retired_Member — Sat, 29 Jan 2022 13:44:50 GMT

I have removed a camera from the ARLO base station, but it remains in HomeKit. How can I remove it from there as well?

In the APP when I go to HomeKit -> select CAMERA -> REMOVE

it says I will remove the entire BaseStation/Integration which is not what I want to do.

I might be wrong with this as I don’t use HomeKit since I cannot get it to install the arlo device.
You’re most likely will have to remove the base station from HomeKit and install the base back again via the arlo app with the cameras wanted.

Same here. I have now accumulated six Ultra and Pro 2 cameras that have been removed from their respective base stations via the app, but still appear as “ghost” cameras in HomeKit, where I’ve resorted to allocating them to Default Room. There’s no way to remove them from HomeKit, because they’re not in the Arlo app. I’ve been searching for a resolution for years.

@Bruiser2030 these finally went away two things that were done (not sure which did what)

- Connected the phone on the same wifi as the arlo-base

- rebooted the base
