VMC2030 with Base VMB4500 video not refreshing on HomeKit home app

[momoriri]

Model version:

Base Station with Siren VMB4500

Arlo Essential Camera VMC2030

iPhone Xs (iOS 15.2)

Description:

Starting a week ago, Home app stops retrieving the latest video preview; instead, it's stuck at an image taken a week ago. I've tried to remove the camera and added back, but still the same. Please advise.

WHat do you mean by "Home app"? The Arlo one or something else? Has the camera recorded anything during the time the thumbnail seems stuck? If nothing has been recorded the thumbnail won't update. You can try force stopping the Arlo app and clear it's cache to see if that helps.

Thank you for your reply.

"Home app" is the HomeKit app on my iPhone, and that's where the issue took place.

Everything works perfectly on the Arlo app. I used the Base Station to get the thumbnail to appear on the Home App, and it's been working fine for a month until 1 week ago. The thumbnail stops loading the current image.

Hope I explain more clearly this time.

Thank you.

I have no Apple products so don't use HomeKit so I can't be of real use. Have you tried removing the devices from HomeKit and then setting it back up again?

Same problem here.

I was able to restore the camera preview where there is a seconds timer in the lower right corner of the HomeKit camera window. Fix: Delete the Arlo hub from HomeKit (home settings) and re-setup HomeKit in Arlo (settings). If you do not see HomeKit setup in Arlo, close and reopen Arlo.
