Can anyone give advice, camera's were working fine, then a few days ago stopped recording to the library. They work fine manually, but do not pick up motion of any kind . So I reset base station and everything was ok for a couple of hours, then back to the same problem, not picking up motion. Come on arlo these are supposed to be security cameras to prevent burglary, what is going on.

Turning off activity zones solved the non-recording issue for me. Now I have cameras that are picking up too much activity. Arlo needs to fix to keep my paid subscription!

My cameras started recording at 0547. I may still purchase a ring camera to add to my ring video system. Arlo worked perfectly for 3 years. What has happened recently! I hope they get it together because I like their system much better than Ring and Simplisafe. I have both of those.

I’m wondering how many here are having problems with only the original cameras that came with the system several years ago.
We added one of Arlo’s new cameras several months ago, and we are having no problems with that one. Also, our friend purchased a new Arlo system a few months ago. He is having no problems with his system.
This problem started after Arlo sent out that letter stating they were changing their system to disallow 3rd party cameras (I think that was the goal). But after they did whatever they did, is when my issues started with my original cameras that came with the system when purchased several years ago.
