Hello.

My family has both iPad and iPhone 6 Pluses installed with iOS v8.1.3 and Netgear Arlo (since 2/25/2015 night PST) apps. iPhones used show notification alerts from these installed apps before I turned off the base station yesterday morning, with its power button, for maintenance work on the physical home (too many e-mails and app alerts!).

After several hours, I physically powered it back on, iPhones no longer get Arlo apps' notifications. However, iPad's app gets the notifications. E-mailed alert notifications worked though. The weird part is that iPad never got these alerts before I powered off and on the base station. Only iPhones did. Now, it is reversed! Family member uses the same The "Friends" account, with full administrator access, under my primary account that I made when setting up Arlo if that matters.

What's wrong? We tried rebooting Netgear Arlo's base station through its web site, logging off and in again, checked settings online and in iOS apps, uninstalling and reinstalling apps in iPhones, etc.

Thank you in advance.

Push notifications to iPhone iOS 7.1.2 not working now.  Arlo has been working brilliantly since installation several months ago.  I have checked each camera setting in both the iOS app and also web interface to confirm that push notifications are on as well as email notifications.  The emails are being sent, but not push alerts.  iOS settings reviewed and nothing has changed except for the automatic Arlo app upgrades.  Only using the 1 main account for monitoring and alerts.

 

Come on Arlo, this is a key feature of the product and needs to be fixed.  Arlo was a breeze to setup with all features working out of the box and that is part of the joy of this product. If this feature isn't remedied, the product no longer does what I need.  Help!


iOS v7 is pretty old. Try v9?

Stuge,

 

Did you follow the steps posted above by Fasrcare to make sure push notifications are enabled for each of your cameras rules?

Try this for iPhone Push Notifications not working--

1- Open Arlo app on your phone

2-Go to MODE

3-press " All Motion on"> Pencil icon

4-Go to  "All Motion on" and press

5- Go to each of your Camera ID and hit the Pencil icon

6- Scroll to the "Push Notification" and  check it

 

Do this with each of your camera ID , so that each will send a "push notification"

 

PS: don't forget to check "Settings" on your Iphone, scroll to ARLO and "Allow Notications"  as well.

 

Hope this helps!

EVERYONE:

 

Try this test just to collect a little info.  Open a command window on a computer and type:

 

ping arlo.netgear.com

 

and post the result don't sweat the lack of response - we just want to see what server is resolved.

 

There are ping apps for phones, too, if you want to use one of those.

I am still not receiving notifications. I have uninstalled the app, reinstalled, deleted the mode and set back up, re-synced all cameras, and restarted the base station. I also did a hard reset of my phone. It works fine otherwise, but I do not get push notifications. I might also mention that I checked my notification settings as well. Please let me know what I can do to fix. I have 9 cameras on a premier account, FYI

Same issue here. Push randomly stopped working. Called customer support. Waited for an hour, gave them my information, they said they were getting lots of complaints. I waited another 30 minutes on hold and was hung up on.

 

Overall:

- Motion detection is now recording (wasn't over the past 12 hours)

- Push for iOS still not working.
