I have noticed this week that the zoom feature in my Cameras does not work like it used to. It seems the digital zoom will not increase past 2.0, which used to not be the case. I used to be able to zoom in much more than this and some of the items I used to be able to monitor with the zoom are out of range. Any ideas why this is happening ?

What is happening? Maybe you could hire one or two more engineers. This is taking way too long.

I recently began having this issue. On single camera, can only zoom 2x. On multiple camera screen can zoom 3x, which is basically useless since the picture is so small. What's going on with this?!?! I bought the Arlo Pro 2 (HD) to get clearer pictures when I zoom, but now this feature is limited. Can anyone from NetGear address this issue which seems to have been going on now for several months according to folks who have previously reported this problem?????

Are you on iOS? I can zoom to 8X on my Android app and on the web browser interface

I too am experiencing the zoom issue. I can no longer zoom in past 2.0 which doesn't even allow me to view my baby's face in his crib. It is a shame that this has been an issue since last June?? If I knew this was a problem I would have never updated the app. now I am forced to view my baby's room on my computer (which is pretty inconvenient). Are there any updates?

 

Also, for some reason my night vision feature on the camera has gotten worse. I can't actually see anything now, everything is all foggy. This is why I did the update, hoping that it would resolve this issue., but it didn't.

Only bought Arlo Pro 2 to get 1080 and 8 x zoom, using iOS, very disappointed, when looking at the posts , I would not have proceeded with the purchase. Surely some assurances from netgear would help, shall I get a refund?
