I need help with an Ultra camera that was interrupted whilst firmware update, now I can not connect to redo.

I put the battery in and it flashes blue once every few mins... if I press the reset button it doesn't have any response... if I long press it flashes 3 orange flashes then goes into the 1 blue flash every few mins... any suggestions???

That is the camera reset procedure. Use the full procedure here:

Thanks for the advice, but unfortunately the camera won't start flashing blue no matter how long I press the reset button, and I have already removed the device from the hub, not sure if that has something to do with it, but as I said, after I put the battery in, 1 blue light, every few mins, not seconds! and if I long press for 15 seconds it flashes 3 orange times then 1 blue and that's it!???

I'm a little lost at the moment as to what to do.

Try onboarding the camera from the app after you do this.  If the app doesn't work, then try a PC (browse to my.arlo.com).

can not get the camera to have any other light sequence apart from what I have already explained!

Understood. 

 

You are saying that when you tried to onboard after the amber flashes in my.arlo.com, that process failed.  Correct?

Correct!, have tried several times with 2 different base stations but still no luck! and the lights flash only after you hold for 15secs are 3 amber then 1 blue and then nothing.

Thanks for responding.  Unforutnately I don't have any good ideas on other things to try.

 

I'm tagging the mods ( @JamesC and @ShayneS ) in case they have some suggestions.
