Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 612 reviews, most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many customers reported that the products, including doorbells and cameras, stopped working or had significant issues like lagging, freezing, or failing to record.

A few other people also felt that the app was easy to use and provided clear video, with some even praising the customer service for smooth onboarding and helpfulness.

Dear Liam,

We’re sorry to hear about your experience.

If you have an Arlo Secure Plus subscription, all eligible devices should be automatically added to your plan at the time of purchase, provided they are assigned to the same Location. To check if they're added, open the Arlo Secure app, tap on the profile icon > select the Location with the plan under "Locations and Plans" > tap Plan. If your cameras are connected to the plan, you should see them there.

If your cameras are connected to an Arlo Secure plan, but do not record to the cloud, please check the rules for the currently selected Mode and ensure that video recording is enabled. You can find step‑by‑step instructions on how to review and adjust these settings in the following support article:

Hi Stephen,

We’re sorry to hear that you’ve been experiencing issues connecting your SmartHub, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused.

If your Arlo SmartHub is not being discovered during setup, please first ensure that it is properly connected to the internet. Check the SmartHub’s LED indicator and confirm that it is solid green. If the Internet LED is solid amber, this indicates a network connection issue. In that case, please make sure the Ethernet cable is securely connected to the SmartHub and your router, and confirm that your internet connection is working by testing another device. You may also try rebooting the SmartHub after making any network adjustments.

Next, please ensure that your computer or mobile device is connected to the same network as the SmartHub during the setup process.

For a complete list of troubleshooting steps, please visit the following support article:

Despite having high speed internet

Despite having high speed internet, both cameras especially the doorbell are really slow to react. Often the visitor has left before I get an alert which is rediculous.
On top of this, the monthly charges keep going up which is quite unnecessary.
I am activly looking to swap my Arlo system for something which is cheaper and reacts more quickly.

Hi Terry,

We’re sorry to hear about the experience you’ve been having.

If your Arlo cameras or Video Doorbell respond with a delay when detecting a visitor, this can be influenced by more than just internet speed. Please also ensure that the Wi‑Fi signal strength to the devices is sufficient. Factors such as distance from the router, physical obstacles, and potential Wi‑Fi interference in the surrounding area can all impact performance and result in delayed alerts.

Regarding the recent pricing update, this reflects the ongoing investment required to deliver and continually improve the Arlo Secure experience. Arlo Secure provides a comprehensive security solution tailored for Europe, combining intelligent detection, secure European‑based cloud infrastructure, and regular feature enhancements. These efforts allow us to continuously improve system performance while maintaining the high privacy and security standards our customers depend on.

Reply from Arlo Security | United Kingdom

Hi Craig,

We’re sorry to hear about the issues you’re experiencing with activity zones.

If your Arlo cameras continue to detect motion outside of the defined Activity Zones, we recommend first deleting the existing zones and then recreating them from scratch. If the issue persists, please ensure that your Activity Zones do not include objects that move continuously. Items such as tree branches or flags within an Activity Zone can trigger unwanted motion alerts and recordings.

Additionally, if Auto Zoom & Tracking is enabled on your camera, we recommend disabling this feature, as it may affect the accuracy of Activity Zones.

For further troubleshooting and helpful tips, please refer to the following support article:

Hi Patrycja,

We’re sorry to hear about the connection issues and delayed alerts you’ve been experiencing with your Arlo Essential Video Doorbell.

Both issues—your Video Doorbell frequently going offline and announcing visitors with a delay—may be related to the same underlying cause. We recommend checking the Video Doorbell’s Wi‑Fi signal strength to ensure it is not too weak. A weak signal can result from the distance between the device and your router or SmartHub, as well as from physical obstacles in between. Strong Wi-Fi interference in the vicinity may also contribute.

Additionally, we suggest performing a speed test to verify your internet connection’s upload speed, as insufficient upload bandwidth can also affect the Video Doorbell’s performance: https://www.speedtest.net

Our Video Doorbells require 2 Mbps upload speed per unit to work properly.

Our customer support would be more than happy to look into this further and assist you. To reach our experts, please follow these steps:
