I've had this system for 6+ months. I gotta say, I can't recommend it. This stuff happens way too often.

Hi Christine ... I already rebooted my base station thinking it was an isolated incident with my equipment but this is obviously a NETGEAR system problem, therefore I wouldn’t worry about rebooting your base station or shutting off your cameras.

Regards ...CJ


Ditto. Do NOT touch your stuff. Let fix Netgear fix their end first.

Not really.  Its been pretty reliable and i have been using them for a number of years.  Outages are rare.

 


Fixing bugs in apps is another matter.  It takes freakin forever to get them to fix em.

Bad show that it happens on the same day as the letter from the company telling us how great and exciting the new, spun off, Arlo is.

Are online services down?

Just dropped a half a thousand on this system and signed up for the premium service. IS this what I can expect? Very, very angry about this. First day on and the servers are already down? Please tell me this doesn't happen all of the time. Also, when it DOES happen, does the base station atleast still save the video to the plugged in USB drive?

Very expensive and nothing but issues

Taken from Arlo's welcome splash screen:

 

"Arlo lets you protectwhat you love.

Stay connected to what matters most with smarter home security."

 

Seriously, what a joke. Why does this happen when I'm out of town?  eBay!

Yes, the USB storage device will store the recordings even if the internet is down. You can watch the USB device recordings afterwards.

Often enough to make me sorry I purchased this. I wanted something that was easy to install and worked great. Extremely disappointed with this
