I have two wired cameras and one wireless camera that are not working. I haven’t used them in a year, and now that I tried connecting the wired ones the amber light blinks and then just doesn’t work anymore. The wireless camera while being connected it works and it’s still synced to my account, but I’m guessing it’s not holding its charge, because once I disconnect it, stops working. Not sure what I should do, on the wired ones factory reset is not an option because it’s not turning on at all.

We need to know what the camera model numbers are to be able to advise.

 

Camera numbers should be visible within the battery compartment, battery removed. Look for the VMCxxxx label.

Did you try the factory reset procedure for the Q?

The wired ones won’t turn on in order for me to be able to factory reset them

The recommend reset procedure for the arlo pro (4030) is to remove external power and battery for 10sec.

 

You should be able to manually sync the cameras to the base station by pressing the base sync button for 2sec then momentarily press the camera sync button.

If the batteries are dead  refer to the my previous post’s links.

I'd still try the paper-clip reset procedure.
