Cameras stopped recording.

[Roodzac]

My app tells me a camera has motion. When I open app the clip is not displaying under todays date nor is the camera showing the snapshot. Doorbell shows snapshot correctly and manually recording a video displays under the date. This worked fine until last night.

[Roodzac]

The Arlo development team is currently investigating this issue. We will provide an update as soon as we have more information to share with the community.

UPDATE (10/13): Arlo DevOps team is investigating an issue where some customers with Video Doorbell and Pro or Pro 2 or Wire-Free HD cameras are not seeing video recordings in the Library. Motion recordings are happening but are not visible in the Library. We apologize for the inconvenience. For more update, please check the Arlo Status Page.

My library is not updating. I am m still receiving notifications, but I can not get the library to update. It will not allow me to change the date to anything more recent than the 6th of October

Can you live view and manually record? Try rebooting the base and maybe reinserting the camera batteries.

[jguerdat]

Do you have an active subscription for the camera? The 3 month trial may have expired.

[Roodzac]

I’ve never had a subscription because I only have 4 cameras. We have had the same setup for 3 years and it just stopped working.

[340duster]

Yes I can live view and record, I have restarted at least 6 times. No change , I cannot view any thing newer than from the 5th of October. The behavior is exactly the same on the web version as well

What doorbell is this?

[Roodzac]

It’s the Arlo essential wired. We have never gotten video clips from the doorbell because we don’t subscribe but there is always a snapshot display on that camera. The other cameras are the ones that motion and store a clip. It’s worked fine for three years.

And none of the four cameras are recording motion video to the cloud?

[Roodzac]

All I can say is they pick up motion and then the clip displays on my app under the date. Yesterday they stopped showing the clips in app but I still get the notifications. I did make one camera go live and clicked record and the clip popped up on the app. But the auto record only notifies me of motion but the clip doesn’t show up. I attached a screen shot of today that shows no clips but I’ve had multiple motions on the cameras.

Have you tried walking in front of each camera, to make sure that all four are behaving this way?  It would be a useful clue.

Also, you might try restarting the base station.

[Roodzac]

Yes ma’am! Each of them give me a notification yet none of them update the snapshot or put a clip in the library.

Try restarting the base.

[Roodzac]

I did a restart in it from the app. Maybe I’ll try to unplug and back in?

You might need to remove all devices from the account and then re-add them.

[Roodzac]

Yea that was going to be my last resort. I’ve researched this topic on here and seen several posts over the last few years where this issues comes up for users and they are always solved by something Arlo does to fix. Seems to me it could be correlated to the app update on the same day potentially.

Hello,

About 2 days ago my videos stopped showing up in the library.  I have 2 friends that have the same set up as I do and they are not experiencing this issue.  One did, and it resolved itself.  None of us have a subscription plan, and purchased this model because of the 7 day cloud storage.

I have attempted to contact support various times and get routed either here or an automated chat that is no help.

Any ideas?

Thank you for your time

3 days ago my cameras stopped recording. I've done all the resets, reboots, settings, etc. Does 2 step verification have anything to do with this? Arlo support has been poor at best.

[dcfox1]

Have you tried rebooting the base (unplugging it)  or cameras (removing battery)?

[koocifer]

I’ve restarted all 3 units. The hub and 2 cameras. Will try removing batteries from camera now.

[koocifer]

So, this is what has worked so far. Hard reboot (reset button) on the hub. Adding 2 cameras, but NOT adding doorbell. Once I add the doorbell, the issue comes back. Will keep working at it.

[CharlesPoon]

I have two of Arlo Pro2 also one of Arlo pro3. That two of Pro2 which came with 7 days free rolling storage and since 3 days before I have no videos recording. Can someone tell me why this is happening?

[dcfox1]

You  never mention the doorbell. What model is it and are the cams Pro2 right? Or a newer model that require a subscription for cloud recordings when the 3 month Trial runs out. If the doorbell is the Essential Doorbell it need a sub. 

[Erik1871]

3 days ago my all of my cameras stopped recording. I have already reset the base modem and reset the batteries in the cameras. Please help. Thanks!

Are these Pro/Pro 2 cameras, or do you have a different model?

If you do have a newer camera, check the subscription status (Essential, Pro 3, Pro 4, and Ultras all require subscriptions for cloud storage).

No.  2-step verification just gets you into the app (or my.arlo.com).  It doesn't affect recordings.
