Hi,
I recently had some caneras replaced under warranty and began to set them up in the usual manner.
Firstly, it took AGES to get them to see the QR code then even longer to finish the set up stage.
We then ove onto firmware change to 1.090.32.1_55_07e3402 and NOTHING is behaving like it should. THe camera section on the mobile app lists the cameras but just constantly says "update available, please update". I do this CONSTANTLY and in between connection failures something just isn't right.
THe cameras seem to be doing something. i get alerts for motion but nothing else. I can see the lights flashing when the firmware is being updates but this is really silly. Arlo, you're better than this!
@JamesC - can you please pick this up?

Additional information. The old (working) cameras are model number VMC2030AerH and the new ones VMC2030AerH9
I've now spent almost 5 hours trying to suss this out. I checked one of the old cameras i had before i send them back and this confirms they are OK with the new firmware version: 1.090.32.1_55_07e340

Are you still experiencing this issue with the replacement camera(s)?
Have you tried factory resetting the camera and try re-onboarding again?

@ShayneS Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately yes and I THINK I’ve reset everything to factory but the only way I knew how to do that is a long hold of the buttons?

@DJA440 If these replacement cameras are not onboarding after the factory reset I would suggest to reach out to the Support Team again and let them know these new cameras are having trouble onboarding. You can find several options for contacting support though the Arlo Mobile App by navigating to Settings/System/Support.

@ShayneS Thanks again for the support.
The frustrating thing is that the cameras ARE working. I get alerts when they detect motion and the light comes on when motion detected it's just the management view always says firmware update available and i try and do the firmware update to no avail.

last update for now. I've opened a case with Arlo UK and they confirm they are aware of this issue and they are "Actively" working on it. But no timescales.
Frustrating to say the least!

Hi @ShayneS - i have a case running but updates aren't exactly swift. Do you have any routes into chasing this up on my behalf?
Thanks for everything so far.
