Image dark all cameras day and night. It's not an outdoor light problem. I have reset the base unit and all cameras and the images are still dark.  Is this because I am no longer have a subscription? I can't remember how long this has been going on and and i had to reboot my base unit almost every two weeks.

Have you changed the brightness setting for each camera? For the web, use live view and then click on the "sun" icon (be sure to save the setting). For the app, it's in the camera video settings.

 

Are the cameras indoors or out (seems like they're outside)? Maybe a screenshot or two would help.

The correct instructions for Chrome are

  1. Navigate to my.arlo.com
  2. Click on the padlock in the address bar and enable flash (setting it to "allow")
  3. Click on reload when that prompt appears
  4. log in

Hi pat49,

 

In regards to the night vision looking dark, could you provide a screenshot as jguredat mentioned above?

I'm unable to see the link that you have provided. You can share the link by clicking on the video of your recording > Share > Copy Link. And then paste your link to share.

 

Or you can share a picture of your recording.

Thanks for providing the video. Have you tried removing the battery from your camera to see if that may help?

Yes, constantly because the Base Unit keeps having problems keeping the cameras working.
