Arlo Pro 3 cameras and hub permanently offline / unable to reset

[zmit]

I bought a set of Arlo Pro 3 cameras and smart hub about 1 month ago. Set up everything as I wanted and it worked for a while. All of a sudden both cameras and hub went offline (no changes in the network infrastructure, no power outage) and would not come back online. I power cycled all the components, tried with different cables, restarting the router. All to no avail.

So I decided to reset to factory settings and start from scratch. Did it with the hub and I managed to get it back online. None of the cameras, however, can be discovered by the app anymore, so I cannot add them to my account. I followed the instructions to reset them to factory settings and to manually pair, but without success. I read somewhere that I should remove them from my account first, but they don’t show up, neither in web nor in the app.

I even tried to create a new account and pair the hub with it. But again, the cameras cannot be found.

So after just 1 month of buying this expensive set of security cameras I am stuck with a product I cannot use at all. There is no support, as “my trial plan expired” and of course I don’t want to spend even more money to just be able to use the products I paid for in the first place. 

I saw others posting a similar experience on this community and answered to get in contact with support. I would, but I don’t know how.

All in all, a pretty frustrating experience.

Same! I have 11 cameras, two hubs and two of the cameras will NOT connect or stream. Or consistently drop off. All are connected to the hub and I have tried EVERYTHING. Best Arlo would do is offer a 30% off coupon because they are out of warranty. I will not invest another dime as they require constant fussing with….
