Arlo ultra 2 (h10) firmware 1.070.53.2_4_f049237 updating to 1.070.52.1_35_1bdb65f
because of this my 700$ in cameras do not work - only record to library - preview screen is obscured by 'Firmware update is available.' live view and recording is unavailable , its been 2 days - still wont install firmware
'WHAT DID YOU DO NOW ARLO ?' this is stupid , always a problem with your stupid devices
firmware will not install
changed batteries placed cameras next base station then on top of base station - restarted all base stations VMB4540 and VMB5000 internet is fine highspeed everything . restarted my router - jiggled my wires so to speak since that's what you normally gaslight everyone into thinking it is , when it's usually just your lousy product DEV team .
- factory reset one of the cameras still did not work .
it begins to install blue lights blink on camera - then stops and 'FIRMWARE UPDATE AVAILABLE' reappears on device feed ocassionally ERROR CODE 4209
im an electronics designer and engineer and your product sucks . period !
fix the firmware update or REMOVE it -

This update flag has been temporarily removed, you should be able to live stream uninterrupted.
Please let me know if you still experience this issue with the firmware prompt on the screen.

I even put the camera right next to the Arlo router and still it does not update. I have turned off and on the camera. Taken out the battery. Restarted the whole system. Nothing works.

As they control the process of firmware updates, rather than the user, patience is usually the way forward.
If you can, leave the camera near SmartHub overnight. Then, if no firmware has uploaded by itself, restart the SmartHub.

What happens if you remove the camera from your account and add it back?

I did that a couple times and still didn't get rid of the firmware update notification. Thank you, though.

no solution yet - its been a week without my ultra2 cameras - 3 out of 4 cameras are useless 1 at least records to library . will not update no matter what i do - i have reset the router and cameras .... does not help . they say its bandwidth turned all other cameras off powered down everything but one camera - does not help .
even put the camera and basestation in a faraday cage (all outside interference blocked ) nothing helped.
an update for my pro4 cameras happened - no problem at all .

Arlo doesen't support you. I have the same issue for 3 weeks.
I have done a factory reset to everything, switched batteries, tried firmware update different ways, put the camera next to hub over night for many nights.
The camera records motion feeds, but you can't live view and it's in a constant firmware lock. What's funny is the camera already has the firmware it's trying to update it to.
Now support is telling me to buy a new camera because their software does not work and their updates. Year in a half for a 300 dollar camera that dies is unacceptable.
Issue is they store history of cameras and data on their servers and cache. I notice I can delete all my arlo history on their website, and completely reset every part of the security system and when I add the camera it has the 'last' image it recorded show up before I deleted it. It's a complete failure on their end, and they won't address it.

They lie. First they say it's your bandwidth, then they blame the battery, then they blame other things. They don't have accountability. I had the issue for 3 weeks now and support keeps going in circles and new staff constantly and make me start over. I have tried everything. Their firmware bricked devices and they don't own it. It's almost time for a class action lawsuit because i see other threads like ours.
Their software bricked their 300 dollar cameras, and nothing we can do will recover them. They offered me 20% a new camera today because they ran out of ideas to try.
The funniest part of all of it? My cameras that have same issue as you are already on the firmware it says it's needs to update to.

Can you pass that information to the techs who are working on case 44188567?
Nothing has changed, and every day after I work with someone at arlo through my case they give me someone completely new and have me try the same steps over and over and over again without reviewing previous notes. It's a vicious cycle and the worst service without over exaggerating I have ever seen at a company support line of service.
