After tapping "add new device" and "doorbells and chimes" none of the selections are active. I've tried 2 different iPhones and an Apple tablet. The apps are running the latest firmware. Is there a setting that I am missing on my Apple products?

 

Thanks

What do you mean by "none of the selections are active"? You may be in a country where they aren't supported yet.

I'm located in Canada and have a coupe of cameras that work fine.

I mean when I tap them, nothing happens. None of the "doorbells and Chimes" selections are available which makes me think that I have a setting in my devices that needs to be changed but am unable to figure out which one.

While it's a long shot, try rebooting your phone and reinstall the app.

I see that some others are having the same problem. @JamesC , @ShayneS , @BrookeN any thoughts?

I added a camera to one of my VMB4000 units via the Arlo IOS app.  I tried to share the camera to others. It was then that I noticed (using the IOS app) under the Account section it says "Getting Information" and it never changes/updates. Logging into to my.arlo.com, under Settings, "Device Settings", "Account" and "System" are greyed out and as such, I can't share the camera.

 

Is anyone else having this issue? If it's just me, any way of fixing this?

 

Note: I do not have a subscription plan, but just utilizing the 7 days of recording that comes with the legacy VMB4000 systems.

Are you still seeing this same behavior? Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

Can you please log out of the app and log back in and see if it is resolved?

Hi,

I did this before my original posting. On the PC, using CClearner, I also cleared out the browser cache and DNS cache. I tried both Chrome and Firefox. On the iPhone, I went so far as uninstalling the app, re-installing the app and re-entering my login credentials. The settings didn't change.

 

If you mean log out and back in now, I didn't get a chance to update this posting yesterday, but I tried again last night because I saw somewhere Arlo was migrating back end systems (?) I don't know if that is true and/or even related, but the "Grant Access" option now appears again on both the PC and the IOS app. No idea why, but just happy it's back.
