 Hello!
I got 2 Arlo Ultras and an Arlo Pro 2.
The one on the basement started developing weird artifacts from green to a rainbow pattern that blocks the video but many times it eventually clears out.
The one on the porch has been much better but it has done it a few times here and there. The one in the basement seems to have been getting worse and worse.
Are they just dying or what is going on?

 

PS and YES I already tried resetting the cameras...

Generally this is caused by loss on the connection.  Maybe try moving one of the cameras closer to the base (as a test) and see if that eliminates the garbled recordings.

That will make these things useless because if I move them closer, they may as well just be inside the same room as my router  😕
Plus, nothing has changed on my Internet wireless setup and they were both fine for the first month or so. Then the acting up started 😕
Gonna move it closer to test but if that's the case, they are going back.
