Did you select "Essential Spotlight" when adding device?  Selecting "Essential" won't work.

 

Is the wifi network set up to use WPA2 (AES)?

 

If you are adding the camera from the app, then perhaps try again from a PC (my.arlo.com).

yep, we have picked the correct camera. We already had two cameras connected but when they died they disconnected so the settings are correcr. ill have to try from my laptop and see if that makes a difference
