My brother is a tech guy and explained what they are doing. They are jamming the 2.4ghz spectrum. This can't be undone because the signal being sent is stronger than the camera signal so it's impossible for us to "unjam" them. The cameras appear to run constantly but a green screen or horizontal lines and most just skip straight through so even though it shows 30 seconds of recording when replaying you may have a second or two. When we go out of town the constant running means eventually the batteries die and then we have zero cameras and useless footage. When I am home (90% of my life) no outages.
Is there any help for this sort of thing? The arlo q plus looks like it may be good but it's not made for outdoors.
This is a pretty serious weakness that, although highly illegal, is very hard to prove and get any help related to the malicious outages. Arlo/netgear should look to develop a solution for this that is outdoors and unable to be interfered with and advertise this to buyers so they are aware before spend the $400 plus on cameras that can be knocked out.

Answered in anothrr thread where you posted the same....
Can't fix jammers if true just like you can't stop all criminal behavoir.... Move to a wired system if you think this is true.

Identical problem. To stop home invasions while away and persistant vandalism, I installed multiple Arlo cameras. Great to set up, everything up and running- within a few days, there were discrepancies. Cameras would not record, camera settings looked like they were changed when I did not change them. Now the jamming. Over the past several days, the cameras were adjusted to the highest sensitivity as a test and recorded every several minutes WHILE I WAS HOME. Upon leaving, cameras suddenly stopped recording for 3 1/2 hours while I was out. Upon return, within 15 minutes, all cameras resumed sending notifications. This is clearly a proximity jam done within range of the WIFI. I had a wired system (ADT) as well hooked to a phone line (full duplex) and that was not secure either. If the security systems can dial out on your phone line to the police station, then anyone with the knowledge can also dial in and trigger the system remotely. All calls to ADT were futile; I was told that I could not control access to the system and was denied programming information that would have helped. Good luck on the wired system- it is probably better that the WIFI but be aware that both can be somewhat easily hacked and you will still remain vulnerable.
