Arlo ultra motion detection issue and charge for phone support?

[Kärl]

So community manager James C says the motion detection is fixed as of latest FW update well let me tell ya It's NOT...and I just got my Kit today and it isn't working and I deleted the camera from the Base and re added it to no Avail I couldn't believe my eye's when I seen there is a charge for phone support for a $400 single camera kit that is just Highway robbery man. This is crazy think I will just send it back thanks but no thank's camera isn't feeding the dogs too. WOW just WOW

@Kärl,

There is no charge for Customer Support. Did you try here: https://www.arlo.com/en-us/support/contact.aspx or get the number from a Google search. 

Before you try to contact Customer Support, why not tell us your problem precisely and maybe we can help you.

Where did you see that?

The bit about being asked to pay for support may be a scam.

If you called a number that you found with a web search, that almost certainly had nothing to do with Arlo.

Web searches can deliver results that scream "Arlo support" at the top but that turn out to be anything but. Using them can be dangerous, for your equipment and your bank balance.

Kärl,

When you say your camera isn't working? What isn't working? Are you seeing an error message? What exactly are you experiencing?

Your Arlo Ultra kit comes with a 1 year Arlo Premier subscription allowing you to contact support at no charge. If you would like to investigate this further with the support team, please open a support ticket.

When I first set it up everything was fine then I added an SD card the hub says it was full right after a format and then the motion detection stopped working I had to delete and uninstall everything it is working to some degree now but without an SD card.

If you buy a camera, or other kit, you get "free" support for 90 days.

If you buy a camera, or other kit, and take out a "cloud" subscription you get free support for the duration of the subscription.

In the case of the Ultra, you get a year's "bundled" subscription, with support.

Send it back not worth the money get the Eufy-E this camera will never be good because they over thought the software probably on purpose for a marketing ploy. It will never be properly functional.
