Trying to activate the siren in IOS, top right hand corner of the app, I press the siren button, then active siren, it then says to choose the base station but it’s greyed out and I can’t click it.
I only just bought and set it all up, the box says it has a siren but I can’t get it to work, any ideas?

Further to this, now that I have tested from the web client, the app has started working, no idea why but thanks for your help.

Hi Maskell,

 

What Arlo Base Station do you have? Could you provide a screenshot that shows that your Base Station is greyed out?

Thanks for the screenshot.

 

Do you have the latest Arlo app version, which is version 2.10? Are you able to trigger the siren through the web client on your computer? And are you the main account holder or a grant access user?

Hi Jessica,
App version is 2.10,
Yes I can activate the alarm from the web client (it’s loud haha)
And I’m the only user and main account holder.
