I'm now having the problem that I can't manually record a video using a web browser. I press the record button like normal but it does not appear in the library afterwards, like it used to. Been happening for about 2 weeks.

 

The thumbnail also doesn't update. Previously if I looked live and then stopped, that live look would now be the thumbnail photo but now isn't, the thumbnail stays the same. There's also a little dip in sound after about 8-10 seconds of looking live. Same on Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.

I have reached out to support in regards to the behavior you are seeing. They will be contacting you soon.

I've now had multiple cases created and followed up on, all of which eventually get to the point where they admit this is something broken in the version of the web interface being served to my account (and those of everyone here complaining, including MULTIPLE accounts that I have for multiple residences etc.)  

I've paid 5-6 months of subscription services without this very most basic feature availability - and it's causing me distress as one of these residences has events of interest that require documentation to support a court case.

 

Still no ETA on when it will be resolved.  This is infuriating.

Have you heard anything yet Mr S?  I'm starting to get embarrassed that I haven't moved on to another product yet 😞

No, mine is still exactly the same. Still not working.  I was contacted by support and went through several stages of contact and technical tasks that took up so much of my time that I felt I should be being paid for it, until a point where I was too busy to respond with the desired information in the allotted time and the case was closed. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Still unresolved on my end.  Every few weeks it seems they reach out and ask me to log into the web interface and test again so they can capture logs.  The support person I'm communicating with acknowledges it's a web interface problem, and that different customers/regions have a different version of the interface (and the interface most of the support people see when they visit the arlo portal is not the same).

This leads me to believe some day we'll see a new interface and it'll be fixed - but nobody seems to be able to tell me when.  

I'm embarrassed to have recommended at this point.  It has been MONTHS.

To have mine "permanently fixed" I had to request for my account to be moved from Canada / EU to USA (as the version of the backend for Canada / EU was confirmed to be broken (finally got through to multiple levels of dev).

It had been working for several weeks and is no longer working again I'm afraid 😞
