Arlo Baby picture 'glitches' up and can't see anything on tablet. See picture,

[carotomas]

I'm having trouble with my Arlo Baby, the picture 'glitches' up and it becomes impossible to see anything.

- I have the latest firmware (1.9.9.0_808)

- my tablet is connected to the same wifi network as the camera

- there are no other electronic devices near the camera that may cause interference

The liveview of this camera has had minor glitches since the first day I used it, pixelated blocks showing up on screen and the occasional pixelated bar, but now it's taking up the entire screen I'd like to find out if there is anything I can do to prevent this from happening.

Is there any way to access some advanced settings perhaps?

Curiously the videos uploaded to my.arlo.com do not contain /any/ glitches or artefacts, I would very much like the liveview stream to be exactly like that.

This is what it looks like:

Hey carotomas,

What Samsung tablet are you using? What Android OS version are you running on your tablet? Are you able to replicate this issue on a different device (such as your phone device)?

Have you tried reinstalling the Arlo app to see if that helps?

[carotomas]

My bad, I should have included that information in my first post.

The problem occurs on all devices we use to view the screen:

- Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T580 running Android 8.1.0

- Google Pixel 3 phone running Android 9

- Apple iPhone 8 running iOS 12.3.1

Reinstalling the Arlo app has no effect.

I would say try testing by changing the video quality to see if that helps. You can read here on how to change the video quality: How do I change video resolution on my Arlo Q, Arlo Q Plus, or Arlo Baby to reduce bandwidth use?

[carotomas]

Changing the video quality has no effect on the glitches.

Let me gather some information from you through private message.

@JessicaP

I have the exact same problem with my Arlo Baby.

The videos recorded are crystal clear, but the live view is very glitchy.

Changing the video settings has no effect.

I have the same firmware version as noted above.

Could you help?

Hey OwenRW,

What phone device are you using? Is this happening on the web client on your computer as well?

[Lochtie]

I also have the same thing as described above. Regardless the device I used (either my Mate 10 pro, p10, tablet). Web is crystal clear. Note that I have a ticket open on this and despite several reminders, no one from Arlo ever cared to respond on this...

[carotomas]

Don't expect too much from phone support, all they are going to ask you to do is restart the device, lower the resolution and/or reconnect to wifi. Currently there is no real solution.

@JessicaP

I have an Essential PH-1.

This works fine on the web client, it works fine in-app for all other camera.

Hey Lochtie,
