You can get to support by going in the support area of the app (not my.arlo.com), and selecting a camera in a subscription plan. Scroll down to the contact section, and you will see an option for phone support. It is available between 6 am and 6 pm US pacific time.

Where do you live? Only select countries can buy a subscription.

I second this!  If anyone monitors this site, your company’s support site (app and website) is terrible!  I’ve wasted about an hour trying to solve my problem.  I will never recommend Arlo products for this reason alone.  I’m about to cancel my subscription, rip my doorbell out and replace with a manufacturer that provides support for their products!  My next step is to share my bad experiences on every product review site I can find!

@Hydepark45208 I would be more than happy to help. Is there a particular issue that you are needing assistance with?

Oh man,  I am so frustrated,  I just need a phone number, your app sucks really bad and the bot is not able to help and non of the help questions that are generated do not give me an option for what I need.  This is the worst product I have ever seen in my life due to the lack of real support.  I am with the person who wants to rip it all out and go to some other company that will speak with you on the phone. This is ridiculous

If you have a subscription (paid or trial) you can get phone support from the app.

If you have specific questions, you can ask them here.

Any base or SmartHub supports far more than 5 cameras. The actual limitation is that only 5 cameras can stream at once which usually never occurs.

I have five Arlo pro 2 cameras that worked great for several years.  Then base unit failed and  bought a new Arlo VMB 4540 base  unit.  I spent hours unsuccessfully trying to connect the base unit. Then I hired two techies to help me.  Neither of them could connect the base to my laptop or cell phone.  Reset button on the new base unit does not appear to work.  I inserted pen and nothing happened.  I inserted small wire nail and nothing happened.  The app on my cell phone does not accept the password I have entered on my account on my laptop.  Please arrange for a qualified Arlo techie to call me.   My cell phone number is
