Camera will not record motion

[Basta-shute]

HI, Need help

I have 4 Pro2 cameras that have worked fine for the past 2 years. I have all camera’s on AC power. 1 camera has been turned off for months and when I turned it back on it will not record motion. I checked all settings and they are the same as the other 3 cameras. When armed the motion detect icon (ball with lines) is black. The camera still has live stream with sound and can still record manually. I can do a motion test with AC power but NOT with battery (90%) power. I do not use Activity Zones, Schedules or Geofencing. When camera is armed, and there is motion, it will show the red LED’s around inside edge. This camera has been installed indoors at the same location from day one. I removed and reinstalled camera and rebooted base at least 5 times. Base and camera have the latest firmware. I think the camera may be defected and needs to be replaced. Any help I can receive (before I replace it) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have the same problem, last recording was on the 24th, then no notifications, happened after the iPhone app update, no solution yet 🤷🏻‍♀️

@tobiaspetrini

  May I ask which troubleshooting steps you have performed so far? I don't want to suggest any prior methods you have previously performed.

Toggled settings? What else can i do?

[Basta-shute]

I’ve have tried everything including different batteries, different AC plugs, removed and reinstalled the device, rebooted the base numerous times, checked that the base and camera have the latest firmware, and checked every setting. Also I installed the camera using hardware from one of my other 3 working cameras. See my original post for more info.

As you suggested the other day, I reached out this morning to the Arlo Support Team and had an on line chat with an Arlo expert. The expert determined the camera is defected and needs to be replaced, at my expense, because the camera is over 1 year old. You would think that as expensive as these cameras are, they would last longer.

You can try to remove & re-insert the battery or remove the camera from Settings > My devices > Re-add them.

Hi, Shaynes
