Arlo Pro 2 cameras , no videos in library. Motion detector lights up but no recording.

[vizsla4084]

Up until about 3 weeks ago I was not having any issues.

Now, I am not getting any motion videos in my library.

This is the same whether I access via the iOS app or on my computer. 

When I have the app open, I can go in front of one of the cameras and the motion detector lights up.

Once motion stops , the motion indicator stops but I never get any video in my library.

I spent about an hour on live chat with Support. They had me delete the app and then download it again. Then I had to set up the app again on my phone. That did NOT help the issue. Then they had me Factory Reset the base. Then I had to sync each camera again to the base. The worst part of all of this resetting is that it did NOT help the situation.

Has anyone had a similar experience and have you found a solution?

How many cameras do you have on your account? Do you need a subscription? Do you have local storage set up on your base? Do you get recordings there?

jguerdat,

 I have 5 cameras on this base.

 Yes, I have a Smart subscription.

 Yes, I have local storage attached to the base.

 Yes, the local storage shows the recordings.

 No, the recordings do NOT go the my online My Library.

Thanks.

I have the same issue today.
I receive notifications but no video recorded to local or the cloud.
Starting to think Arlo devices are a total waste of money! Time to change to POE cameras.
