My backyard camera will come on but wil not connect or record videos I have tried to get help only to be told we need proof of purchase Arlo isn’t for the customers especially when you pay a premium price each month if that’s how it’s going to be I would never recommend another person.

May I ask which troubleshooting steps you have performed so far? I don't want to suggest anything you have previously performed.

When you say connect, do you mean the camera will not live stream? Did you add the camera via the web portal? Which version of the Arlo app are you using?

Because it's out of warranty by a few years, I can't provide an RMA. I can have a member from my L3 team reach out to you to further investigate the issue if you like?
