I have an Arlo Pro 3 camera set up and over the last couple days I’ve seen 2 of my cameras go into “device unavailable” mode. So today I pulled the cameras down and put the batteries on the charger and let them charge up. after they were charged I placed them back in the cameras, however they remained in the same status of unavailable. Thinking my charger must be bad, I went and purchased another charger with the same result. Ive attempted using the “live chat” but only get a blank screen, before I spend even more money and use the pay to call system does anyone have any recommendations or has anyone had the same issue? I just purchased this system in May, so it’s a little disconcerting to be having a failure like this within 5 months of purchase.

Delete the cameras from your app/web browser. Move the base station a few feet further away from your wifi router. Hit sync on the base station. Hit sync on a camera. See how that goes

I tried removing the cameras per the previous recommendation and while trying to sync I just get a yellow light on the camera. When I put the charged battery in the camera I get the quick blue light and then all I get is the amber light. It seems like the issue is with the cameras and not the base station.

I suspect the battery is dead. Have you tried charging it? What happens if you plug the charger in and try to sync?

As far as the batteries go they are fully charged. I believe that there is an issue with the connection between the camera and batttery pack. I’m not sure what the process is to open up a warranty claim but these two cameras are clearly defective at this point..
