My Arlo camera's are offline

[mphmax]

How can I get my camera's back online

[DeannS]

Good morning mphmax,

Let's see if we can help you to get to a resolution by better understanding the cause of your cameras going offline. A couple questions for you:

When did your cameras start going offline? 

Have you verified the WiFi signal is able to properly reach the cameras? 

I look forward to your response!

Thanks,

Good morning farrah09,

According to our data center report, it seems that your Base Station and camera's are now online.

Were all camera's offline? I happened to notice that two of your camera's appear to have low battery. 

Please be sure to replace your batteries when you have a chance. Other than that, all appears to be well.

If you continue to experience this issue with one or more camera's, please contact me directly and I will setup a support ticket with our Escalation team.

Thanks for your time and patience. 

I look forward to your response.

Thank you,

DeannS

Hello ATO

I looked into your cameras and I see one of the cameras has critical batteries or they are dead you need to replace the batteries and may need to resync the camera to the base station. Here is a article showing how to resync the cameras. 

My Arlo camera won’t sync to the base station; how can I troubleshoot?

Hope this information helps and I hope to hear your Feedback.

Thanks

All 5 of my cameras are offline.  I pressed the sync button on the base station but none of them have responded.  Do I have to bring them all back close to the base station to sync?  they seemed to have good signal strength and battery power, only a few weeks old.

Hi swenning,

Please make sure the base station is getting on the Internet.

It is best you check the LED activities first.

See What do the LEDs on my Arlo base station mean?.

Let us know the status.

[swenning]

Got them back.  I restarted the base station and they all slowly came back in operation

[JennC]

Hi swenning,

That's good to hear, they are back online.

I screw up something. I need to set up again

[Rdpventures]

Don't know when or how it went offline. Need to reconnect the camera

[JamesC]

Rdpventures,

Please consider the following troubleshooting steps to reconnect your camera to the base station:

1. Reboot your base station. (press power on/off button located on the back)

2. Open the battery compartment on your camera and then close it to reset the camera.

3. Once the base station is back online, press the Sync button on the side of the base station one time, the third LED should start flashing.

4. Bring the camera close to the base station and press the Sync button on top of the camera 1 time, the blue LED should start flashing.

If this process was successful the camera LED will rapidly blink for a short time and the camera LED on the base station will turn solid green.  Let me know if this helps!

Hi, me 3 cameras are offline, although I have internet on my router as well as on the netgear router. The system was working fine but someone desconented my modem and when I returned home and reconnected my 3 cameras went offline.

[JamesC]

parodis,

Welcome to the community!  If all three camera's are showing offline please consider the following troubleshooting steps:

1. Ensure your base station is online (Power LED and Internet LED solid green)

2. Bring the camera close to the base station and power cycle it by opening and closing the battery compartment.

3. Resync the camera if necessary and take note of the LED indicator on the camera. 

You should get a solid green LED indicator on the center LED(camera LED) on the base station if the sync completed successfully. Complete each step on a single camera before moving on to the next.  Let me know if this helps!

I have 1 of 2 camera's going in offline mode everyone. I Cannot get it down everyone as it's on a difficult spot. How can be avoided that this happens? The other camera is full mode working all the time thanks.

Everyone should be everytime (love autocorrect )

[KristynM]

border,

There may be intermittent interference on your network. A simple troubleshooting step you may try to do is to restart the base station from the WebUI or Arlo App. This option is located under Settings > Base Station Settings > Restart. This is essentially the same as physically powering down the base station and powering it back on. You will not lose any settings or lose the cameras that are synced to the base station.

I'm looking forward to your response.

I did a restart but second camera stays offline.

[KristynM]

border,

After performing the troubleshooting steps and you are still experiencing your camera being offline, kindly contact our support team for further assistance.

Now it is in function again. But I'd like to know howcome it is the same camera everutime with the same problem? The other camera is always working and it's batteries are holding much longer then the batteries in the other camera.

Thanks

I have two cameras that are showing off-line and one is online. The two off-line cameras are the ones right next to the base station. The online one is far away. Any ideas

[JamesC]

Kyleresq,

Consider power cycling the cameras that are showing offline by opening and closing the battery compartment door. I have a couple questions that might help us understand more about the issue. Is there any other wireless devices nearby that could potentially be causing interference with the two cameras that went offline? How often have these cameras gone offline? Let us know!

My cameras are going offline all the time. One camera is within 10 feet of the station.  The station is within one foot of the router.  The router is communicating with my other devices.  The other three cameras are within thirty feet of the station.  However two of the cameras are one floor below the station.  I have rebooted the router and the station.  Sometimes when I do that the camera will work, but not for long.  The batteries show they are not empty.  I am away from the house now so hope you can look at my system where you are and help me fix my problem remotely.  Also, I can't click on my email notices of motion and get the system to show me the video of the motion recorded.  Also, the camera starts to record the motion well after the first motion should be recorded.  For example, I can go into the room and move around for several seconds before the camera starts to record me.  Can the camera be set to record sooner.
