I’ve had this camera for about 1 month. I’ve always used geofencing to arm(record when motion detected/disarm) . For the first three weeks it recorded daily. For the last 6 days, nothing shows up in my library. It will manually record and record by schedule (both show in library). I have taken out the apostrophe in device name, turned on/off in the app and location services on iPhone. All software for ALL devices are up to date. Any suggestions???

So much for hoping to have it resolved "very soon." Update??

It’s still not working and I haven’t heard anything since. I was wanting to buy an additional camera, but I’ve decided to hold off on that.

Any updates yet? It has been over two weeks since it stopped working properly.

@JamesC So... It's April now. You said you would update your customers "soon". In what world is 10 days considered "soon" for a simple update? I would hazard a guess that Netgear has no idea how to fix it or are dragging their feet on the issue. I have contacted your customer service via live chat, Australian and international Facebook pages AND here and I am unsatisfied by the non-responsive nature of your team. Is this how Netgear supports customers? This is certainly the LAST time I purchase Netgear products and I shall NEVER recommend your products to anyone.

I agree. I bought this unit because of the geofencing option. Had I known it was only a pipe dream, I would've bought something else.

Suddenly, on the 8th of May 2018, the Mode control tab disappeared. The app hasn't even updated via the Google Play store. Wow. Just wow. Netgear's coding team must be a bunch of Muppets! Miss Piggy needs to get her whip out.

In the year and a half I've been using Arlo, Geofencing has never worked for me no matter what settings I use.
