Anyway I have the app on my phone and recently have started receiving the error "There was an error obtaining your library. Arlo team is working on solving the issue". Someone has stolen something from my front yard yet I cant get the clip. Any idea how i can fix this issue? I have tried reinstalling the app and my phone - no success.

Are you able to access the recordings using your PC?

Hi Stephen. Yes I am. However it would be more convenient to access from phone. I have a USB connected in there.

When you say "USB connected" - do you mean you are having problems using direct access to local storage? Or are you having problems accessing cloud storage?
I'd start by seeing if the issue happens both when using wifi connected to the phone and when using cellular data.

I have tried to access the videos when im out, and at home - both via cellular data and home wifi. No success unfortunately. Any idea how to solve this issue without having to buy arlo cloud storage?
TIA

I did not subscribe to cloud storage as it is too expensive. I have a USB connected in my Hub. In the past, I have been able to view my videos on my phone that were saved on my USB. Unfortunately this isnt the case anymore.
I suggest ejecting the drive, and making sure it can be mounted in a Windows PC. If Windows offers to "repair" it, then let it proceed. After that, add it back to the base and restart it. Then see if the behavior on your phone changes.
Are you using Android or iOS?

I installed a brand new USB. Still doesnt solve the issue?
Any suggestions? Im from Australia and the Arlo customer support is the worst i have ever seen for a company. How can i get into contact with someone to fix up this issue? I wish i never bought this Arlo camera if im being honest, and i wouldnt recommend it to anyobe looking to buy one.

Thanks for the reply. No, it hasnt worked.
Is there a number I can call (and what time is it open Sydney (Australia) time) as everytime I call it seems like they are closed, or an email I can use to the Arlo as I am extremely dissatisfied with this product and need answers to resolve this.
Thanks heaps and sorry to rant but paying premium for a product like this and not being able to access customer service really sucks. I personally wouldnt recommended any Arlo products to anyone reading this based on my experiences unfortunately. Might change my time once i am able to get into contact with the arlo team though

Note I don't work for Arlo. The only numbers I am aware of are the ones on the support link at the top right of the forum page. There is a number for Australia there.
You can also try chat - it will take you through a chatbot first (which is probably worth a try), but eventually you will be able to contact an agent.
