I have been using the USB port to power my camera with great success since summer 2015 until the new update this year. The new update detects presence of the USB port being used for power and will not send notifications. I noticed I was getting notifications from my battery powered one outside but not from the one inside powered by the USB adapter. When I switched that unit with batteries, the notifications came back. The camera still functions with the USB power, just no notifications.
The camera is mine. If I choose to void the warranty, then that is my business! This is Netgear's way of pushing their expensive Arlo Q. However, I also have a second system in my office. The office purposely doesn't have a WiFi router and Arlo Q needs a WiFi router. If they were going to push the Q, the should have had an option to tie it in with the existing Arlo system.

Sin_City,
While we don't encourage using the wire-free cameras in this way (power over usb) I just tested this and was able to receive notifications (e-mail and push) without issue. Are you seeing this behavior across multiple cameras?

I am having the same issue here. Will there ever be a fix for this?

If you decide to external power the Arlo cams, there are other ways... but of course it does void any warranty claim
