On the Logi, the codes are inside the camera rim, very, very hard to read. I took a pic with my iPhone and zoomed in.
Re; swiping up. When your in your HomeKit app, as you know, the cameras are below your other devices (locks, lights, coffee maker, etc.), if you swipe up, your cameras become visible, you'll see on bottom right.. 1 second. 2 seconds, and so on. They recycle at 10s.
Now, I'm trying to make an NFC tag to start recording on one of the Arlo's...so far, no go...
I checked my Circle 2 again and discovered the HomeKit information is not on my camera. I received my Circle 2 via the Best Buy Technical Insider Network for evaluation and review. It was likely an early production model. It appears that HomeKit information was not yet being etched on them back then.

Thanks for your rub thorough, it was a great help.
To say this had been the single most frustrating customer experience of my life is no u understatement.
I did your run though and got everything set up great first go, but didn’t name my cameras at the time of set up. I couldn’t find how to rename them so I deleted my set up and started again, on to be stuck on the “Uncertified accessory” loop now.
How could it work perfectly once and now fail every time now?!?
I even Removed my vase station and setup everything again, however now I have lost my Arlo Smart subscription connection on the cameras that were subscribed and there’s no way to easily readd them in the app or online!
I’m not really sure what to do now?
I’m ready to through the whole system in the bin and get something else!
Ouch!!
Renaming the devices in HomeKit actually was just tedious, but not difficult. It sounds like you dug yourself into a hole. I’d say “open a case”, but I don’t think that will help in any reasonable amount of time.

I was finally able to add my VMB4000r3 base station to my eero network. I have a xfinity cable modem with the wifi turned off. My eero base station plugs into one of the 4 ethernet ports on the cable modem. My VMB4000r3 was originally plugged into one of the other ethernet ports. Homekit did not find the base station until I connected the base station ethernet directly to the eero base station. Odd because the Arlo app has always worked perfectly.
I am left with 2 problems that I cannot resolve.
1. The Arlo cameras only show up in the Home app on my iPhone. I do not see them on my iPad, Macbook Pro or Mac Pro.
2. When I try to view a camera remotely with the Home app, it says "The camera is not responding". I can remotely view the cameras with the Arlo app but not the Home app.
Yes, I have the same issue with the ipad. It works with my iphone, but I can’t set up the home app on the ipad.
Are you certain your iPhone and iPad are logged into the same AppleID?
I have an iPhone Xs, 11” iPad Pro, iPad mini 5 that all showed my HomeKit setup after I set it all up on my 11” iPad Pro. I just went into my office and checked my older 12.9” (original) iPad Pro. I opened HomeKit and nothing showed up, I checked another Home and then came back to this one. The Arlo items started populating. I assume it just took a while and it wasn’t related to checking the other house, but I am not certain of that fact. Anyway, now four Apple devices show my Arlo setup that I performed on one of them.
My Arlo devices on one base station say they are not certified for HomeKit and on my second base station, it says those devices are fine. The NOT certified base station has 5 Arlo Pro/Pro2 cameras attached to it. The base station that shows up as OK, has one Arlo Pro/Pro 2 (I’m not certain which it is) and three original Arlo cameras attached to it. The original Arlo cameras do not show up at all in HomeKit (as expected), but the one supported camera does show up along with the associated motion sensor for that camera.
Since user experiences appear to vary so wildly, it is hard to say what conclusions to draw from any of this.
I will try to remember to test remote access to these today. I keep forgetting when I’m off-site.

Sorry to hear that. Not to pour salt on the wounds, but you could have renamed the cams in Arlo. The only caveat is, the renaming wouldn't have carried over to HomeKit; you would then have to rename them in HomeKit as well.
After reading so much about "uncertified accessory" using the same base station; I think the base stations, tho with same model #, are newer or older versions with different chips/circuit board. That is the only explanation I can come up with.
Another commenter mentioned the Eufy Camera system, soon to have HomeKit. The cams and base station look identical to Arlo's and cheaper.

Hope so. That and automations. But I don't think you'll see many fixes until final version of IOS 13 and/or they add Arlo Ultra to HomeKit.

- Local recording (no cloud account) - assuming this is why Homekit Secure Video is possible.
- Battery life. Side by side for just over 2 months for my Arlo Pro and EufyCam - my Arlo battery needs to be replaced and the Eufy is still over 90%
If Homekit Secure Video comes the the platform it’ll be the one to look at.

Facial recognition would be great, especially in automation where once recognized, can unlock my door. My August door lock already has auto-unlock when arriving home, but facial would be interesting...

My armed modes are the same as they've always been since way before HomeKit; wondering why it's not recording on motion.

That's what I wanted to do; just a simple automation with my Hue stuff to test it.
