Hello,
I have two devices, one in the backyard and another in a room within the house ( haven't decided where to set that one up yet) and I was able to get live feeds and recorded events initially, however, now I am not able to tap into either devices for live feed. In addition, I get notifications of events however nothing shows in the "feed" page or when I click on the notification.
Any suggestions. Thank you.

It would be nice if Arlo would post this page up, but it seems that there are live stream issues with the essential 2 cameras and they don't have an ETA on the fix.

glgpreventive,
Where are you located? Arlo Essential 2nd generation cameras are not available for installation in all countries at this time.

I am in Utah. I took the camera back to Walmart this morning. I tried everything that was suggested online to get it to work. Now my problem is that I was set up to be able to view my son's cameras online, now I cannot. When I log in to Arlo the page all that comes up is a page to personalize my dashboard. How can I get back to not having anything about a new camera come up. My son is overseas on a Navy ship, so having him do anything is impossible, and I need to be able to check his cameras. How do I get back to where I was before trying to install the camera?

Just purchases an Arlo Essential Outdoor 2nd Gen camera. Already have 3 Pro 2 cameras connected to a VMB4000 base station. Base station and pro 2 cameras are all working perfectly. I am using the latest app on an iphone. When I try add the new 2nd gen camera to the VMB4000 base station, I am prompted to enter a password. Is there a way to find this password? Any guidance would be appreciated.

HI @lonk Thank you for the feedback
At the moment the Arlo DevOps team is investigating an issue where some customers from the US region cannot onboard Essential-2, Pro5 Cameras, and Home Security System and live-streaming issues with Essential 2 cameras. We are working on resolving this issue. We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.
You can track this via the status page here: https://status.arlo.com
Additionally, You can onboard 2nd Generation Essential Outdoor camera directly to your Wi-Fi Router. You can find detailed instructions via this How-To link: https://kb.arlo.com/000063196/How-to-set-up-the-Arlo-Essential-Outdoor-or-Outdoor-XL-Camera-2nd-Gene...
The Base Station/SmartHub compatibility is slated for a future firmware release. I do not have a date available at this time but stay tuned here on the community and the below link for announcements.
Please let me know if you have any further questions and I will be happy to assist you.

Nothing new. I am really disgusted. And to top it off I can't see my son's cameras. Everything seems locked on a home screen when I log in. Not buying anymore at this point until they get the problem with viewing my son's cameras fixed. He is overseas on a Navy ship and I check his cameras at his home while he is gone. Doesn't look like they test the programing for these cameras.
