Arlo Pro 5 – Live view & motion stop working on external power after latest firmware (1.060.35.0_2

[Olivier_b]

Hello,

Both of my Arlo Pro 5 cameras are showing the same recurring issue, which started immediately after the last firmware update:

• Before the update, both cameras worked perfectly even on continuous power.

• After the firmware update (current version: 1.060.35.0_26_fe51ebd), when connected to continuous power (with any Arlo official charging cable), after a few hours live view and video recording stop working.

• The cameras remain connected (I can still access settings and restart them remotely), but video and motion detection are completely disabled until a manual restart.

• When running only on battery, the cameras work perfectly with no issue.

Additional details:
• Model: Arlo Pro 5
• Firmware: 1.060.35.0_26_fe51ebd (issue only appears after this update)
• Camera #1: updated yesterday → issue started immediately after update
• Camera #2: was still on previous firmware and worked fine → updated last night and now shows the exact same issue
• Both cameras were purchased separately and come from different production batches/series
• Connection: tested both via Arlo SmartHub (model 4540) and direct Wi-Fi → same issue in both cases
• Wi-Fi network: stable and strong (Swisscom Internet Box)
• Troubleshooting already attempted: Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz only, IPv6 disabled, DHCP fixed IP, factory reset, reinstallation, SmartHub installation → none resolved the problem
• Tested with different official Arlo chargers and cables:
 – Arlo Outdoor Cable 7.6 m
 – Arlo Indoor Cable 2.4 m
 – Original short charging cable included with the camera
→ The issue occurs with all of them

This clearly confirms that the problem is a firmware bug introduced in the latest version (1.060.35.0_26_fe51ebd) affecting continuous power mode.

Please advise on a solution or provide information on an upcoming firmware fix.

Thanks,
