Chrome doesn't use the adobe plug-in (though firefox does).

 

With Chrome:

Right after you navigate to https://my.arlo.com (before you log in), click on the padlock immediately to the left of the address.  You'll get a pop-up with the ability to allow flash.  After you select that, you'll see a control to reload - click on that.

 

Once you've done that, you won't get the flash prompt until you close the browser.

 

With FireFox:

after you get the error, you'll see a "lego" icon immediately to the left of the padlock (which is immediately to the left of the address).  Click on that, and you'll get a pop-up to allow flash.  Then get rid of the error message by clicking on the "x", and you'll be able to continue.

These messages are signs that your browser is trying to protect you from "dangerous" content.

 

Many browsers throw up the same dire warnings. You will have to find out how to give your browser permission to run Flash.

 

Some browser are more forgiving than others. Some will remember the settings, others require a fresh tweak every time you launch them.

 

It won't be long before Flash goes to the great code writer in the sky and just won't work. There are alternatives, but Arlo seems to be determined to sit on its hands and to keep Flash going until the last possible minute, sometime in 2020.

 

Maybe this will help:

 

Enable Adobe Flash Player for Safari
