So, I've had 3 Arlo Baby monitors for a few years now ... never any major issues. Yet, in the past month, two of the three go offline.

 

I've done every possible piece of troubleshooting from factory reset, to draining the battery and fully recharging, to new cables, and others.

 

Device #1 - Lights up (amber), for about a minute, flashes a quick blue light, then shuts off.

Device #2 - Lights up (amber) forever, but will not read the QR code.

 

I've tried them both on battery, on cord, multiple factory resets ... nothing. 

 

I find it very odd that they were the last generation of free cloud storage, and are now discontinued. My pessimistic side says Netgear is pushing out software to brick these, but I could be wrong.

 

Unfortunately during my troubleshooting, I removed Device #1 and #2 from my Arlo profile; however, #3 is on firmware 1.10.0.0_931_812eee7, Hardware ABC1000r6.

 

Thoughts?

Hi adambean,

 

Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, could you provide the serial numbers for your two Arlo Baby cameras that are going offline? You can also send the serial number to me through private message if you don't like to post it on here publicly.
