Mike Woslager (@MikeWoslager) reported@ArloSmartHome I bet you don’t even have the proper manual for these cameras. Arlo trash!
-
BeautifulOne (@Beautifulone119) reported@ArloSmartHome please help me I have your Arlo Pro 4 system and I've tried ar least 20 times between Saturday and today to set them up. I've followed instructions for how many Ghz AND made sure blue light is blinking AND scanned QR Code. I'm so FRUSTRATED. PLZ DM ME
-
LakeShowFresh (@LakeSkol) reported@ArloSmartHome @C__Start It’s crazy. It works on iPad intermittently but on my iPhone completely offline. Simultaneously
-
Jack Johnson (@JackJoh58480894) reported@ArloSmartHome Your system is terrible. Your cameras will not stay connected. When you try to reconnect it takes multiple, multiple attempts, if they even ever do connect. Can’t get help from a live person. Customer service is almost non existent.
-
Bonnie Showerman (@BonnieShowerman) reported@ArloSmartHome The absolute worst doorbell ever made! No support help, can even speak to a live person. Don’t wast your money!
-
Colin (@wHENigEToFF) reportedSo sick of @ArloSmartHome cams. Constant issues. I was sold on the features, but 2 out of 4 appear offline constantly; I'm lucky if a battery lasts 2 weeks on the optimized setting NOT the 3 or 6 months Arlo claims; my Apple TV sees them fine, but MY.Arlo sees them rebooting. FML
-
BeljicaPeak (@BeljicaPeak) reported@ArloSmartHome Betcha the arbitrary EOL feature removal = class action. No plans to ever spend time and money on Arlo in the future. Arlo couldn’t even make its touted geofencing function reliably and regularly service was down. Now we are rewarded with EOL. Not me.
-
Michael Bobelian (@mbobelian) reportedIn less than three years, my Arlo doorbell @ArloSmartHome broke. That's a short lifespan and I can't get anyone to help me with it on the phone or online. I'm disappointed that Arlo won't stand behind its product and the terrible #CustomerService
-
Jason Abbate (@JasonBrobbate) reported@ArloSmartHome please fire whoever designed this interface. This is the worst thing I have ever seen in my life.
-
Save Lives! (@BrotherBourbon) reportedHey @ArloSmartHome I just bought a whole system on Ring because your chat is terrible and you can’t get anyone on a call. Worst customer support I’ve ever seen.
-
LOCK HIM UP 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 (@Gshigs) reported@CNETNews Arlo is a scam. Advertise cloud storage and camera notifications for years - the main reason for choosing them - and then just announce they’re EOLing and shutting it down. Why would anyone buy from @ArloSmartHome again?
-
Deryck Evelyn (@deryckev) reported@ArloSmartHome terrible customer service experience. Calls dropped. No call backs for open service requests despite assurances that calls were scheduled.
-
Jaszlyn Fennelle (@JaszlynF) reported@ArloSmartHome Why is it so hard to get help ? It seems so many people are having trouble with battery problems and I need help ! You have to have a subscription to receive live support ? My cameras don’t work !
-
LizRoddy222 (@Roddy222) reported@C__Start @ArloSmartHome @ArloEU Confirming that VMB4000 is down.
-
Geo 🇺🇸 🏳️🌈 🇺🇦 🦋 (@InvizOne) reported@ArloSmartHome Thanks, but it doesn’t help. It appeared plans, including LTE, were provided by Arlo & outside LTE not recommended. Conflicting cellular info has halted a Go2 purch a live agent could easily clarify. Seems bad social media is only way to get attention/answers to product Q’s.
-
Donna Rosser (@barefootphoto) reported@ArloSmartHome your customer service and secure plan are a joke. No help.
-
Bailey (@ColinBaileyUK) reported@androidcentral It confirms one essential point. The included at purchase, 7 day cloud storage agreement, is being unilaterally reneged by Arlo. Poor show, dreadful customer approach @mbmcrae @ArloSmartHome
-
I am no one. (@mahasitavati) reported@ArloSmartHome @verge Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.
-
Ian Ireland (@amracinggreen) reported@ArloSmartHome Thinking of buying Arlo? I’d think twice. An 18-month-old camera fails, it’s just out of warranty, yet I’ve paid a monthly subscription throughout. This isn’t my first poor experience either 1/4
-
Connie Moulaison (@conniemoulaiso) reported@ArloSmartHome @SusannWalters @Pocketlint I have 9 camera I purchased them when Arlo advertised that I would not need a monthly subscription. On April 24th 2026 I lost the features when they did an update. I’m on a fixed income & this was an investment in my home security. Arlo’s technical advisors are no help!
-
Craig Allen (@CraigAllen0921) reported@ArloSmartHome WTF Arlo. Will not sell me my upgrade cameras because I live in NC or is it because I'm not woke! I'm a huge @NETGEAR fan with a lot of their product. I'm about to throw everything out and go find the equipment else where! UNBELIEVABLE
-
I am no one. (@mahasitavati) reported@ArloSmartHome @TechHive Customer service is the worst, not worth it. Do not buy from this company.
-
carly wilson (@carlyally11) reported@ArloSmartHome your animated notifications stopped working yesterday for multiple users as per your forum..please fix it
-
Eric W (@ejtt7ciia) reportedTo add insult to injury, 4 days after a new controversial EoL policy, @ArloSmartHome sends an email about 20% price increases. Congrats Arlo - you lost a lifelong fan after two bad decisions. It's the timing - you have to give users more than a couple months notice...
-
Alex Mereness (@MerenessAlex) reported@ArloSmartHome I’ve spent well over $700 into this system, based on promises and claims made by you. It’s disappointing that you now choose to go back on said promises, I understand not supporting old hardware, but effectively bricking/paywalling the system unless more money is spent is trash.
-
Jason Abbate (@JasonBrobbate) reported@ArloSmartHome would be cool if you fixed your geofencing. When the program says ‘all devices’ but activates when anyone leaves or comes. **** you. I hope you go bankrupt
-
Jason Abbate (@JasonBrobbate) reportedLove how it takes over 3 weeks for @ArloSmartHome to get back to me to fix my geofencing issues. ‘We have to escalate this to a higher level’ You need to fire your development team and stop outsourcing your help to India who just read scripts. Fix your trash
-
Julie Younglove (@YoungloveJulie) reported@ArloSmartHome has the worst customer service in the world. no phone number, and no live agent in chat. a bot that circles you into nowhere. and all i want is to cancel my account so i stop getting "important updates" for products i no longer own. frustrated af.
-
Awake In The Matrix (@WakeInTheMatrix) reported@ArloSmartHome has some of the WORST customer support
-
Connie Moulaison (@conniemoulaiso) reported@ArloSmartHome @Pocketlint I have over 9 cameras. When I purchased them I did not need a monthly subscription to view my recordings. Since the update 4/24/26 my features are gone. Arlo Tech help can not fix it. Why did Arlo remove my features I’ve had for years?
