Hi all, I'm using the Arlo pro 2 camera's and encountered something I can't really get a grip on.
I have several camera's connected to 12V power, one on battery.
With one camera, I have arlo smart running. Also thi camera has a wasserstein power cable connected to it.
On battery power the night vision switches on correctly, however on ac power, somehow night vision will not switch on.
Resetting the camera didn't help (unplugged, removed battery).
Removing and re-adding didn't help.
Resetting the base station helps for 1 night and then the problem reappears. Has anyone had the same problem?
As soon as I unplug the power cable, night vision switches back on though.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Actually found the problem as the reconnects etc did only last for 1 day. Then I wanted to swap camera's and while it was still plugged in, I moved it a bit. Somehow it picked up a ray of light from the street lighting making it to turn off night vision when on power. Changed the angle a bit and it works now. So also check if you have some kind of indirect light source that gets caught by the sensors in the camera.

My question is that you state the cameras are connected to 12v...
think this needs to be clarified as to your power source
