What happened to all my recordings prior to 9/1/2024??? 

I have a subscription. It’s recording and storing the last two days but I have no recordings for the last week or month. I’ve logged out and in, I’ve tried multiple devices - ITS NOT MY SIDE!!! WHERE DID THE RECORDINGS GO???? I can’t get support thru chat, it tells me I don’t have a subscription but they keep taking my money every month, where are my recordings???? Before this last weekend everything was working fine. Now, all my August recordings are gone.

My guess is no one here knows how to help. Arlo support is “kindly” asking me to reset my cameras and asking for the serial numbers of the cameras but this is NOT A CAMERA PROBLEM. ARLO SECURE DELETED MY FEED AND IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, THEY WILL NOT TELL ME WHY MY AUGUST FEED DISAPPEARED!!

Day three, Arlo Community has nothing to offer. Arlo support keeps asking me to reset cameras when the problem is they deleted my videos from August. The cameras work fine, Arlo/Netgear has deleted my August feed and is still refusing to help.

I suggest focusing support on this issue first.

 

Are you seeing no subscription for the camera when you look in the subscription area?

Is it possible you are using a "friend" account, and not the primary account?

I’m seeing I’m subscribed and I’m using the primary account. 

I’ve been subscribed for two years now, the system knows I’m subscribed as well. Support personnel tried to tell me I don’t have a subscription but I do. 

I have 2 locations, one remote and one home. Remote works fine, has a separate primary account, as well. Cameras work, feed has recorded videos from August. My home location works fine, my August feed was deleted. 

Like I’m telling Arlo support, everything is working perfectly, the recorded videos from August have disappeared and I didn’t delete them.

And the camera you are selecting when you access support is in the subscription plan?

 

If so, you are obviously paying for support, and both the chat and the phone option should give you full access.

I don't think you'll be able to get them back.  The only shot would be to try to escalate to L3.  Clearly reinstalling the cameras, etc won't do anything useful, and could actually make retrieval of the recordings more difficult.

They reached out to me. They are no help whatsoever. Now they are blaming the feed disappearance on me. I know for a fact I did not delete my August feed. 

the support I am getting is worthless. they are nearing “lying” level, they aren’t telling me why the August feed disappeared. 

these guys are a joke!

how do I removed the “solution” accepted thing? I clicked that accidentally last week. 

THIS ISSUE IS FAR FROM RESOLVED. ARLO REMOVED MY AUGUST FEED AND THEY ARE NOT EXPLAINING WHY THIS HAPPENED NOR ASSURING ME THIS WONT HAPPEN AGAIN!! 

MY TIME AS A CUSTOMER WILL COME TO AN END SOOM.

Never received support for my August feed disappearing. Nothing but excuses and blaming others. 

pay attention to your feed folks. if there is anything there download it immediately - DO NOT DEPEND ON ARLO.
