Arlo charging station

[AMorse2914]

Any idea when the charging station will be release? I had purchased these just a few days ago and spent a lot of money coming to just find out there is no charging station. This is a great product but lacking the release on the charging station is ridiculous! who release recharable batteries but no station? I have to now remove one of my cameras or forced to buy another to charge a battery. what sense does that make? I will continue to use these cameras because I feel they are good quality but Netgear needs to get their act together!

Does anyone have a further more precise update on when netgear is going to have the Arlo Pro Charging Station available?  I am running two Arlo Pro 5 Camera Security Systems and it is a pain in the butt having to use one of the camera to charge the batteries for 10 Arlo Pro cameras.  This problem needs to be fixed by Netgear ASAP and they should offer a discount to existing customers that have been waiting months for this product and been forced to wait so long for it to become available.

Thanks for escalating this.  I did see the charging station available from Best Buy and Amazon for about one day.  I was too slow to order one and missed out.  The design of the charging station should not be an big engineering feat so I assume there must be some sort of supplier issues.  When can we expect charging stations production be enough to be available on a more consistent basis?

We are at the end of March and still no news on the charging station or solar panels? Been waiting since October this is completely UNSAT. I see no urgency from Arlo. So I see no urgency to purchase anymore camera.  They need to update us on what the hold up is and a real release date on these two products. I have 3 out of 6 cameras that need to be recharge now and don't want to take the offline to recharge them. Though I have two spares but will still have to take one camera offline for a period time to recharge the three dead batteries. Since this is not a priority in my life this could leave me vulnerable for a couple days. Good thing I live in a good neighborhood that is not the point. Truly Annoyed!

JamesC, has Netgear responded to your request an update for the charging station availability issue?  It has been almost two months since you submitted the request.
