Geofencing When we leave the house arming never happens

[mechanics200]

We have two phones and both are enabled for geofencing.  When we leave the house arming never happens.  Have tried the three different distances.  The gps map on each phone shows us a distance from our home so I know the the location is working.

Are you talking about the map in the Arlo app? Are the geofencing settings definitely correct? What phone? Let me guess... iPhones

Yes, the Arlo app. Settings are correct. Phones are Motorola with Android.

Geofencing is designed to operate on a "first in, last out basis". This means that if any device is in the Geofencing radius the "Home" mode will enable, and the "Away" mode should only enable when the last device has left the radius.

How does the first in, last out principal work with geofencing mode for my Arlo cameras?

For this to work be sure the app stays logged in, is running and location is enabled on your devices. If the app is logged off/not running Geofencing will not work.

When using multiple devices, the secondary devices should be logged into the app via shared account through the "Grant Access" feature so that both devices are logged in using the mobile app. Take a look at this article for more information: How do I add and manage multiple mobile devices for geofencing?

If you are having trouble with this, consider refreshing your enabled devices within Geofencing settings. Disable all listed devices, save and then enable the devices again.

Log in to your Arlo Account (the primary) and navigate to Mode > select your Arlo system > edit Geofencing > click "Enabled devices". Toggle all of the listed devices off and save. After you have finished saving, navigate back to "Enabled devices" and toggle all desired devices back on and save.
