My Pro 3 camera connects to my account and appears in the app but does not have any connection. When I try and see the live feed, it times out.....and regardless of the rules I have setup, it does not catch motion and record. I have tried deleting it and reconfiguring it to my account, rebooting the camera, rebooting and reconfiguring the base station as well. Nothing works so I was looking for some ideas. I see I'm not the only one with the issue but decided to post now and see if anyone has been able to solve this instead of Arlo offering a small discount to buy new cameras that you didn't plan on buying.

 

To note: base is 5 feet away from me right now while I'm testing the camera, I have a strong wifi6 signal and the router is also 5 ft away from me, feeding ethernet to the base. My camera with the issue is a Pro 3 which came in a set of 4 and a new base. The other 3 cameras from this set work fine with no issues. And I've tried putting another camera's battery in there as well to see if it's battery, but that didn't work...same issue. I also now have 3 Essential cameras connected to this base that also work fine with no issues so I have ruled out base, distance, battery and internet. I have no clue what to do with this Pro 3 camera now. It shows up on my account when I login (regardless if in app or web), but connection always times out when I click it. It shows an image of weeks ago (when this all started out of the blue). I need help with this....thanks!

Did you try resetting the camera?

Although the instructions say to let go of sync when the LED flashes blue, I suggest waiting until it flashes amber.

Hi, yes of course....that was about the 2nd thing I tried, before resetting the entire base and re-configuring all cameras. I think in total, I reset the camera 3-4 times. And I did that too lol....I always hold reset a bit longer than what they say. But it didn't work

I have tried contacting Arlo support many times with no results. This is why I came here to see if any other users in the forums had the same issue and were able to resolve it.

Are you receiving an RMA camera replacement? I see you have a case with a lost package from FedEx. Is this regarding the same camera? Is it being replaced? Do you have a case number regarding this previous conversation with Support?

No, but I would take a replacement if that would even be possible. The other case I have (most likely what u are referring to) was a 3 pack of Essential cameras I had ordered but got lost with FedEx so Arlo was supposed to report that with FedEx on your side.
