Hi there, one of my cameras is now experiencing the Purple/Pink video problem, right, i talked with support and they told me, I need to send to replace and wait to they receive it and then they will send another one, AND... I NEED TO PAY THE RTES FOR THE SHIPPING TO NETGEAR (unexplicable but real). The system has 3 days since I bought it so, better, I'll go to Best buy (the place when I bought it) and I 'll exchange for another one or maybe another system cameras.

Incredible but truth... pay for sending a camera that does not work... WTF!!!!!

No need to investigate... true or false? to send and pay the shipping costs? (i mean the sshipping costs to netgear)

Currently, any method you choose to get an Arlo device replaced via RMA will cost you to ship the device to Netgear.

I'm having the same issues with one of my cameras, reddish tint like there's a filter over lens. I've had them for almost a year. It's been like this now for about 3 months! I thought it was just me!
Also my cameras at times during the daytime records in b/w...any suggestions?

Pull batteries then replace to reset camera... it if doesn't correct the problem then

contact Netgear for a possible replacement... the red view is the IR filter stuck on

 

 

As to just B/W... the camera auto switches to B/W when the light level is low... no user control over this ( other than maybe the iris adjustment )

I just recieved and put back into service arlo q in Saturday. After paying for expedited service. And today there is pink video again! 3 days? Really? Do I have to keep paying for this shipping? Not right. This is the second camera that this pink video problem has hit. Actually now 3rd.

I'd start suspecting something else. Temporarily move the camera elsewhere and test. Same thing or better?
