When trying to set it up to my wifi I keep getting error codes and they can't find it in the system along with wrong password.  I am putting in the right password. What is up.

I cannot the 2nd Generation Essential Outdoor camera directly to my Wi-Fi. I get stuck on “Searching for the device in our system” and then it fails.

I was told by customer support on the phone this afternoon that they expect to be fixed today 🤷🏼‍♀️

There is a known Arlo problem with setting them up. They are working on it

Yeah, “working on it” for almost 24 hours.  Not a very good look considering they just sold a crap ton of these for the early Black Friday sale at Walmart.

True, but we have had Arlo Pro cameras (on end of life list) for a few years amd had issues. So I am hoping they will fix this quickly

ShayneS, thanks for the reply.   I have connected the Essential 2 camera to my main house WiFi router.  Slow to load but it works fine.  Ultimately I would like to mount this camera on a barn containing the VMB4000 hub that is 150' from the main house.  I eagerly await the resolution to the hub compatibility issue.

I just bought a camera, and it is just «spinning» when I try to have a live view. When you fix the issue, is there anything I need to do, or will it get updates in the software online?

I just got a Arlo Essential Outdoor Camera 2nd Gen today and i have the app it finds the camera when i sync. it searches my wifi then it says searching for the device in our system. Then after awhile it says camera failed to connect. There was a issue when connecting please try again gives Error Code 17409. It keeps doing this everytime I try again. Should I just take it back to Walmart or what?

Do you know if other people are getting stuck at “trying to find the camera in our system” when trying onboard too?

My cameras record clips when they sense motion, like they are supposed to, but I cannot access the live feed. Access to the live feed is one of the main reasons I purchased these cams in the first place.

My Arlo Essential Camera, 2nd Gen, is not displaying any live footage despite trying various troubleshooting options, including moving it to a different location and performing a factory reset. Everything else, such as motion detection, the spotlight, and two-way audio, is functioning properly. Notably, when motion is detected, the camera successfully captures footage and identifies the cause of the motion, whether it's a vehicle, person, or animal. However, the primary issue is that the live footage, arguably the most crucial feature, is not working at all, and I have not found a solution.

I just bought Arlo Essential outdoor 2nd Gen Cameras and They keep giving a error code : 17153. I have been trying to connect all day. The Cameras are fully charged and I am setting up with my router only 3 inches away from everything. First time activating my account/cameras. Thank you
