Rare for me to buy something on 'day 1' but I've been waiting for these Ultra cameras for a while.
Anyway, I picked up today and want this to be a success - but I can't seem to get the cameras to stay connected, even when they are within a few feet of the base station. Both the 'regular' live view and view to position the camera time out all the time... constantly. The message I get is "The request timed out" or more often, "This Arlo device is offline

Local 4K streaming is not working for me. 4k cloud recording is not functioning either despite paying 100 bucks for it on Thursday.
I have three open cases with Arlo support, yet, have not heard anything back regarding fixes. Just crickets.

I had another couple missed events over the last 24 hours that were quite telling. One event was this morning on a recently moved camera (tried to eliminate the specific camera as the issue). The spotlight came on and stayed on well past the end of the event - to the point I thought I was going to have to pull the battery - then the camera went offline in the app. A little while later the camera spotlight shut off, and shortly after that the camera was online again. Of course, no video!
The second event was similar, but this time when the camera rebooted the spotlight came on again, the app registered motion (even though the event was over nearly a minute prior), and it captured an 11 second video - but unfortunately not of the event, just of whatever was there when it rebooted.
@JamesC - It seems there are still pretty significant rebooting/connectivity issues (at least in my experience) and I, like many others, are up against a return policy - and more importantly a need to be able to trust these security cameras actually work. There was a reason we put them up in the first place :-). Just hoping you can press on this.

I am am experiencing significant rebooting of Ultra cams as well. Many times I attempt to live stream, unable to connect and camera goes offline. Cams go offline, seemingly to reboot, each and every time I tweak a setting. My live stream is 1080p, if that, despite having set local live stream for 4K in app. Still unable to use the PVR 4K upgrade I paid for Thursday. I have 3 open cases with Arlo support. No one knows what to do, how to address.

everything I have seen states that at the end of the free year of the 30 day plan you automaticly revert to the free 7 day plan. 4K recording requires the 60 day plan

Please post a link showing this.
There are multiple posts on this board with links to Arlo pages stating there is no free cloud recording.
Also, 4K requires a Premium Video Recording plan for $1.99/month, not a 60 day plan.

Exit the add camera function and restart the app. Wait for the base etc to 'get status' and it should appear.
If the Ultra cam has been offline for a while, the battery may be drained. Recharge (quickest with the 9V cable) and reboot as above .
Also. If you can, make sure your wifi router is on a low channel. (1 or 6 say.)

All cameras appear updated along with the hub.
Hub is connected to 4x Ultra cameras and 5x Pro 2 cameras.
Seems to have frozen up in the middle of the night around the time it is scheduled to go into Armed mode.
Last two nights in a row and the only fix is to disconnect the power from the hub and power cycle it.
Everything else seems to be working a little better. Notifications were coming through quicker, but this appears to be the issue at hand now.
My house is also protected by Ring cameras and 1x Wyze camera.

Is everybody on here using the new basestation? I am using the old arlo Pro basestation and I cant even get the basestation to recognize the arlo ultra camera at all. How did you get it to connect to the camera to even download the firmware update?

I thought they were supposed to be backwards compatible with the old one. Guess I was wrong. Well now I gotta decide whether to return this paperweight to bestbuy or spring for the new basestation. Thanks for the info.
