..............Out of the blue (on or about Jan 9th) lost live view (says the camera is offline) but was still alerting/recording and the video showed up in the library. Oddly for about a week if the camera had just sensed motion and sent an alert you were able to access live view from the app but ONLY for a short time, after awhile though that "trick" stopped working too.

 

Now the camera has stopped working altogether because I attempted to remove from the app and reinstall (which was successful) but the app still insists it's offline which means I can't access the settings to tell it to record so the camera sits there ready for instructions but no way to access it.

 

I really hope someone can help me because every "fix" I attempted has made the situation worse then before. So far I have tried the following:

 

1. Restarting the device (IPad & IPhone) that the App is installed on

 

2. Changing to a fresh battery in the camera

 

3. Removing App & reinstalling the newest version which did nothing but the new App is horrible and I can't go back:(

 

4. Removing camera from the App & reinstalled, the installation says it was successful but the App still thinks the cameras offline so as I mentioned above I have now lost all recordings because I can't access the camera to tell it to record!?

 

5. Accessing from a PC (which was the 1st time I tried this) and not only would it not connect to this cameras Live View but it would not access ANY of my cameras Live View (4 Arlo Pro 2's installed a couple months back) but library and other features worked as they should???

 

Also it's important to note that I have 1 bar short of full service on AT&T so it's not a service issue (remember it worked flawlessly for a year) but Alro seems to think it is? Also as mentioned I have 4 Arlo Pro 2's purchased a couple months back installed on the same App and they are not having any issues as of right now, fingers crossed!

 

Your help in this matter is greatly appreciated!!!

There have been a lot of updates lately and I have discovered that whenever there is an update, the first thing to do is power cycle the base. That often solves wierd problems.
