Hi @Chaiyos

 

Are you still experiencing this issue playing back videos in your library? Have you tried to delete and reinstall the app?

Yes I have many times but it still doesnt play videos. Took the base to the local distributor and they had the same issue and couldnt help with anything. They said it's Arlo's app issue not compatible with IOS, just wait for Arlo to come out with new App version.

Do you still have this system to try some troubleshooting?

Do you have the mode set to armed? Are you using a custom mode? You can try and perform a factory reset and test again.

Yes mode is set to armed.

 

And yes, I had tried factory reset a few times, didnt help. 

 

Just wonder if others experience the similar issue. Saw in previous community chat back in 2018 that somebody had the similar issue (link below). How did that get resolved. Saw Arlo moderator asked many questions, similar here but I didnt see the solution in that chats.

or base is broken? Local dealer said that IOS and Arlo Fireware are not compatible.

Regarding this statement "Local dealer said that IOS and Arlo Firmware are not compatible". That is incorrect, The Arlo app is compatible with Android & iOS.  What are the minimum requirements for installing and using my Arlo system?

  • Apple devices: For all future product and app enhancement updates, the Arlo app requires iOS version 11 or higher.

to be clear, is your system detecting and recording to the library but you can not play the videos within the library?

As stated in the subject, I am using iPhone XS Max with IOS 13.6

The Issue is there are no recordings in the libraly but the system do detect the movements. The warning messages are received through phone notification.

Again, the base has been reset to factory reset a few times, didnt help.

 

Can you also advise about the similar issue that a few users raised back in 2018 as per the links that I sent, how did that get resolved.

Which Arlo app version do you currently have installed?

As mentioned earlier, I have tried to re-instal the app so it's the latest version available on App Store. Version using is 2.18.1(619) released Jun 30, 2020.

 

Can you list out the questions that you have so I can provide details that you need in one go instead of coming back with one question at a time. We have about 10 correspondances on this issue but I still dont see any suggestion on how to resolve the issue.

 

Also, I referred you to the case back in 2018 with similar issue and I still havent got a response on how that issue was resolved or it didnt get resolve at all.

No recordings at all?

 

Can you confirm that you have a Pro-2 cameras?   Your symptoms generally happen when people have no subscription with newer cameras (ultra, pro 3).

No recordings at all. And manual pictures taken also not shown in the library.

 

These are pro-2 cameras that come with the base. I did not purchase /add new camera.

And this is also true when you look at the library in a PC (browsing to my.arlo.com )?

@StephenB Not sure because I also have  problem accessing live function in my.arlo.com as well. It kept saying the "request timed out".

But can you play the videos already in the library?

 

Also, if you get frequent timeouts accessing live, then the camera is probably too far from the base.  What signal strength are you seeing?

In your Iphone delete arlo app and  goto setting /General/Language & Region/          Region = Thai land   Calendar=Gregorian  (no Buddhist or Japan) you can see all your library. Regards.

@StephenB I am having the same issue... with the same phone... with the same iOS.

 

I can playback videos in my library, but the library doesn't contain videos for the last 24 hours.  But the Hub does.

It appears to be an issue between the app and iOS 13.6 which was recently released.

Also, I don't receive notifications when I attempted to log in to my account from my MacbookPro.
