I have geo-fencing enabled such that when I am within the radius, the system should be disarmed. When I get home, the app notifies me that I have entered the geo-fencing area, yet the cameras will still notify me that they detect motion. Broken.

Did you specify what Arlo should do when you're in Home Mode and Away mode?

Yes - disarmed when home, armed when away.

The last fewdays the arlo app will not switch from disarm to arm when I leave my house?? Any suggestions?

Engineering is currently aware of and investigating an issue with Geofencing that is affecting some users. I will provide an update as soon as I have more information.

Same problem here. I leave the house and Arlo does not recognize me out of the area. Worked fine up until a few weeks ago

Geofencing worked great up until about two weeks ago. I can see on the map within geofencing that I’m 100 miles from my house, yet my phone status is “in zone”. Please fix ASAP. Purchasing this product was contingent on it working as advertised.

Not sure where everyone else is, but I'm in the UK and I'm having this issue too.  Will it get fixed through a software update?

Same problem here. Recent iPhone updates to blame?

Any fix yet?

Not sure if the iPhone update has something to do with it or not... but I did notice the apps stability after the recent update of iOS

I have the latest iOS firmware on both my devices and still no joy. One phone never shows leaving the home area. This just started within the last month.

Do you by chance have an iPhone? I do and, while Geofencing has typically worked correctly maybe 60% of the time for me, it stopped working completely last week after installing the latest app update. I’m wondering if the new complete failure issue may be related to the iPhone app update. As I mentioned, I have had issues with this feature and have a service ticket open for over a year now., so I’m not holding out much hope Netgear will ever get this functionality working correctly.

My Arlo's geofencing also quit working.  Going to the setup page shows me sitting at work and the small geofence surrounding my home - several miles distant.  I believe the situation started during the last IOS update.  One way of fixing the problem is going into my iPhones privacy settings under setup and momentarily shutting off the location services and then turning them back on.  Usually after a few seconds, I get a note from Arlo that my Geofencing is now Armed (if I'm out of the zone) or Disarmed (if I'm in the zone).  So far this about the only way I have been able to reset geofencing - a royal pain in the a$$!  Please fix this quickly.
