The only way I was able to get the chat to work, is to paste this link into a new tab on the browser.

This is pathetic! Stuck with two cameras that havent worked from day one and no means to rectify....I somehow cant help but think this is by design. I’m also not overly thrilled to discover that there are people in the arlo community who have had issues for 3 years plus and just seem to have accepted that the equipment doesnt work as advertised....sorry but i’m not spending out good money for sub standard goods so someone needs to stop stalling and provide me with a route for me to return and exchange the goods that do not work...

I was having the same problem, and I also didn't want to spend the money to call. I tried everything under the sun to get that chat link to work. I am in the US, maybe the UK link is different.
What I finally did that worked, was open the chat window, as you know it comes open blank. I copied the link from that blank chat box, and pasted it into a new chrome tab. It worked first shot.

I'm told email is only available when chat is not. Chat and phone are your typical methods.

has anyone had any problems with customer support? I have NEVER had such bad service ever. We have 3 cameras and 2 developed the 'pink tint' problem back in June. Spoke to Arlo, sent screenshots and they agreed they needed replacing and i had to contact them to arrange this.
I had to send them back to returns dept in UK at my own expense!!! and then nothing .....
This is when the fun began.... very expensive calls to support usually US or Indian call centres and nobody does anything regarding my lack of replacements, now ask to speak to supervisors/managers who insist they will call back (never happens) and then have to refer it 'up the ladder'.... they have to check they received returned cameras (luckily I sent them 'signed for' and they have to be reminded to check my file and the have a screenshot of receiving signature that I sent them) but no they have to check again.
It is over 3 months I have been waiting for my replacements and am now seriously thinking of taking this further and I cannot do anymore as constantly being ignored and nobody at netgear doing there job!
has anyone else had such bad customer support/service? (wish I'd looked at more amazon reviews before I purchased them) or do I give up and write off over £500 woth of cameras....

It's actually a relative few. Open and close the battery door. If that doesn't work, open a case with support here for an RMA.

The only real Arlo support number is found by using the Contact Support link at the bottom here and again on the new page. Of the 3rd page are the only methods to contact support. The Googled numbers are indeed spam - or worse.

Wds1215,
Reboot the camera by opening and closing the battery compartment door. Allow the camera to sync back up to the base station and try again. If you still experience the same behavior, please contact the Arlo Support Team to further investigate this issue. You will find several options for contacting support in the provided link.

As mentioned in many other similar threads here, it's a hardware issue with the IR filter getting stuck. As such, invoke your warranty by opening a case with support here.

The original wireless cameras use a moveable IR filter. It gets stuck on occasion so you can try removing batteries and reinserting to free it. If not, it's a hardware problem that has nothing to do with the Night Vision setting which simply turns to IR illuminators on or off. If within the warranty period, open a case with support here.

I sent mine back to netgear in July for replacements and am still waiting...
Another new case number issued in October by JamesC (netgear community professional) and no answer 1 month later so that’s nearly 5 months waiting for a solution. Netgear steal your money when things go wrong but with me they actually did my cameras too! Probably sat in a warehouse rubbish bin somewhere.

Hi everyone, your help please!
I have been operating and Arlo system for some time now (12 months or so) and two of the cameras have suddenly failed!
Sounds strange but they have both failed at the same time..
1. Camera 1 VMC3030 now only shows in a "Pink" hue, looks like the colour filter has gone!
2. Camera 2 VMC3030 will only connect to my hub for approx 30 minutes then go off line and drain the batteries!
I have fully charged the batteries and swapped them from my previous cameras, also have swicthed my cameras over to the ones which are working, reset the router and also the cameras and reinstalled the latest firmware. Like I say, I have had the system approx a year now, so would like to think I know what I am doing!
If anyone has any suggestions or experiences then please let me know as half of my system is no inoperative, surely these Arlo systems and for the money that they cost should last without fault for years nor months!!!! I am frustrated as the system when purchased was close to £750, its been amazing... up until now...
Reaching out and hop to hear from you soon 🙂

The pink cast has been reported and solutions posted many times here over the years. If opening and closing the battery door to reset the camera doesn't work, you can open a case with support here to invoke your warranty. If the warranty is up, you'd need to replace the camera yourself.
I'm not clear on the camera that disconnects and what you've tried. The first thing I would do would be to swap cameras around to see if the issue stays with the camera or the location.
