My arlo for about a month  has not been notifying my phone  of movement.  I've un installed, rebooted.  My internet connection is good. Did updates.  And adjusted my phone. Everything i can think of and its still isn't working.  I've had people show up at my house and it never caught them. I pay for the subscription so I feel like I should rely on it but lately I'm not so sure.  If I can't figure it out I may have to switch to something other than arlo. Any help would be great before I  have to switch  thank you!

Are you getting recordings, but no notifications?  Or are recordings also missing?

Have you tried the motion detection test?

So if I go into the app and go into the library they are there but nothing no notifications were sent. After I do that I will get notification for a bit then it will stop again.

Bbraymen1,

 

To receive notifications the app must be active and logged in. It sounds like your mobile device may be force closing the app after a period of idle time. This is often associated with battery saving settings on the mobile device.
