I can't get my camera to scan the QR code for the Chime 2.  When I go to this forum, the solutions are "just keep trying and it will scan".  What a bunch of Horses&!#! 

 

"Keep trying with no time limit and you'll get it little buddy." - Arlo

 

Why is the code so damn small, and why won't it scan after trying for half an hour?  Why isn't the design itself in question, and the solution is simply to make me waste more time?

Some folks have taken a picture of the QR code and printed it out to make it larger.

We're just other users, so have no control over the size Arlo chose for the QR code.  Clearly it is too small - some phone cameras simply can't focus on it because the camera needs to be too close to the code.

 

As @jguerdat says, some people have managed to get take a clear snapshot (sometimes with a different camera), and then printed it in a larger size.
