I have had an Arlo Pro Charging Station on order from Amazon since November 4th. It still hasn't shipped. Just to avoid confusion I'm talking about the CHARGING STATION
not the spare battery. Looking around, I can't find the charging station on the Arlo Accessories page here on the Arlo site any more, or from any other retailer (Best Buy, etc).
Did Netgear cancel this product before it even shipped? Has anyone received one? Are they still intending on releasing this product? Any info at all?
The ability to keep a spare battery charged was an important buying decision for me. Without the charging station, the only way to charge a battery is through the camera...a very poor solution.

Bump - Now February and everywhere sold out, not available, or not taking orders? Best buy cant order in as arent available from their warehouse.
It REALLY sucks climbing up and down a ladder twice to change the battery.
Can you confirm when this will be ready to purchase?

Here we are - March and no charging station.
Can you either provide me an accurate date or help me with a refund of my 4 camera system (getting up and down a ladder twice and having to leave the ladder out whilst the unit charges is not awesome).

Forgive me for asking, but I'm having a little trouble understanding how a company that designed a totally wireless,HD, night vision, motion-sensor and 120db siren-enabled camera that will fit in the palm of your hand, having such a hard time delivering a battery charger?
Regards,
DD

My Amazon order shows out for delivery today. Oddly enough it's the batteries that are now on shortage as well and vendors are profiteering on them. It appears that Netgear has some mfg issues to resolve.

I've been trying to buy the battery charger for three months now supposedly it was going to be available in March, well it is almost April and no stores have it in stock. What the hell is the matter with Netgear. You sell this expensive system and don't provide any type of support except for this stupid blog that we can bit*h on. Get you S**T together. I really wish I could return this system. The ONLY reason I bought it was because it was wireless. I should've have gotten wired 1080P cameras.

Ha ha, jaburges and GRV Well I agree with jaburges, I already have the two extra batteries, and I charge them on my only indoor camera, for the outdoor ones, (five cameras total) BUT the camera does not seem to charge all of them to 100% for some reason. I don't know if it is the camera itself or the batteries, so if I ever get the charger Ill be able to make that determination and return the batteries while they are still under warranty. Still it is the fact that NETGEAR is screwing the pooch on this, and needs to get their house in order.

Thanks James, appreciate the effort.
Could you also tell your support team (answering emails) to stop blaming the retailers.
It's pretty unprofessional to state they 'cant look in to Best Buy orders' and they 'dont have access to their systems' claiming the charging stations have been released to retailers. However no retailers have them in stock (all back order, pre-order or out of stock). Passing the buck is a pretty poor tactic.
I (and i think many others) would like a firm release date that someone can stand behind and restore a little faith 😉
many thanks

OK this is surely quite embarassing now no? still nothing on Amazon (kind of got fed up checking elsewhere)
Shortly about to tick over in to May and still not even directional release timing.
The email support i have received has actually been worse, blaming other things/systems/retailers, and not resolving the issue - with the final instruction to take it back to Best Buy (which i shouldnt have to do, as none of this is my or Best Buys problem)
Are Netgear satisfied with the level of response here?

I have a friend who is a netgear dealer (dealer eval) and he told me the distributor will be getting more stock on 5/1. However, he also told me that there are currently 300 units backordered. I have no idea how much volume the distributor is getting, just putting this out there from what I know. I'm in no way a netgear employee nor do I know what the distribution timelines "officially" are. I will mention, however, that I managed to locate one at a nebraska furntiure mart (of all places) and bought it immediately.
