I saw this has been an issue in the past. My videos are not being uploaded immediately as there is at least a 2hr delay. I reset the Camera last night and it worked after that but 10 hours later and it’s doing it again. Is this a server issue?

As previously reported, some customers were experiencing a delay in receiving  push notifications and/or video recordings. Services are now restored, but it may be possible that some videos recorded (between 10am to 12:40pm PST May 25, 2019) may not be viewable in users’ libraries.

 

We sincerely apologize for this service disruption and want you to know that our team will continue monitoring and actively managing our systems to maintain the best possible performance at all times.

I’m having the same issue, though it has been more than 24 hours and I still can’t see the videos from a 9 hour window yesterday. Videos before and after are there.

It turns out my time zone changed to Pacific Time (not by me either) and needed to be changed back to Eastern. This is the 2nd time this changed on it’s own. It’s a bug.

Arlo has an outage at least twice a week. This either causes live views delay or fail, no recording to the library, motion detection no longer works... Arlo is a piece of crap now a days. I recommend to look at other Security cameras such as Ring . Ring is owned by Amazon, and the infrastructure is much more stable.. it just works. Everytime I call Arlo support for their outages, they tell me to remove and add back the camera.

My motion sensitivity setting is also randomly changing on it's own. I have motion sensitivity set to 100% and and keeps changing to 80%.

Arlo had some kind of ourtage on their service on May 25th... Now my notifications no longer work AGAIN!!! I am on the call with Arlo support and these guys ALWAYS tell me to wither remove the device or remove the battery.. All my 8 cameras notifications are not working. Do I need to do this for all CAMERAS!!!

 

Arlo is so crap. There is not a week where I don't call Arlo support for some issues.

 

Get the RING. I promise it will be better. My clients I install the RING, they never call me. Clients who I install these stupid Arlo always call me telling me their cameras does not work, live view lags, and notification stops working.

 

We need to press charges on these guys for crap products and service

I just got off the phone with Level 2 support. This issue is now fixed.... After the outage on May 25th, they had to "resync" something on their cloud backend just now for my Android and Ipad to work getting notifications.. I did not make any changes myself. The engineer was very good but for me to resolve this issue, this was not something I could had done myself. This is what's frustrating when Arlo has outages. They have to "fix" something on their side to resolve your problem. In my case, notifications were not working on my Ipad and Android devices although it was working on my iphone.. now all three devices were working without myself doing anything besides waiting on the phone with support for over 1.5 hours..

 

I will no longer recommend my clients or anyone I know to buy Arlo's. This company if not change will go down the drain. I see a bright future for RING but not Arlo.. stock is going down anyways and I am not suprised!

Usually simply doing a power cycle solves a lot of these wierd problems. I always power cycle all my base stations after any firmware update. I had the same problems and it freaked me out, but I power cycled the base stations and soon thereafter the problems were solved. Firmware/software bugs is a whole 'nother story.

Rebooting the base station didn't work for me and it never did for anything. Below are the three things L1 engineers tells every customer to do as the last resort before escalation to L2 or L3

 

1. Reboot the base station from the app.

2. Power down the base station by pulling the power cable for 2 minutes

3. Remove the battery of the camera to reboot the camera

4. Remove one of the cameras and add it back in.

 

If the above does not resolve your issue, then they will escalate to L2/L3.

Request timeout AGAIN on LIVE VIEW, no more notifications, not recording anything!!!!!!!!!!! DAMMIT

 

What is going on here with Arlo again again again.... we fix something yesterday and now multiple things are not working again................... do you have an outage again Arlo!!!?????

 

We need to take some legal action on Arlo/Netgear services. Our families cannot be protected by this. 

 

I am not in queue for support 10th in line..... I bet multuple customers are having the same bad experience
