I'm having issues where my CVR stops recording, sometimes for hours, however during that time frame I still get audio and motion clips. Currently, my CVR has been down for 10 hours. I can watch live and record manually, but nothing is saving to my timeline. I've remotely restarted my camera as well, and it still isn't recording. Any suggestions?

Nothing you can do. Open a case with support. In the meantime, try restarting the camera using the power plug.

Recently some server side updates regarding CVR were made that could have impacted a small number of users. Are you still experiencing this behavior?

 

Please let us know,

Hi James-

I noticed last night there were a bunch of breaks in he CVR but it looks like since 2 AM today it's been OK. Would that have been when the issues were fixed? This is what i was getting:

This could also be the result of a poor WiFi connection to your camera. Be sure the WiFi signal strength is strong.

 

If you are not still seeing this behavior please continue to monitor your CVR and let us know if you see any more issues.

Thanks James. We have the Arlo connected to the router with an ethernet cord, so I don't think the WiFi signal strength should be playing any factors in it.

Yea I am, the other night it went out the whole night too. It only seems to start working again if we restart it or unplug and plug it in. But this isn't ideal since my apartment is small the camera usually tends to turn on after the motion is already out of view, so if I'm not aware the cvr is down I can't determine what set off the camera.
