Cameras 3 years old and rubbish
Cameras 3 years old. My Tapo camera, which cost less, picks up more movement than the door camera! Solar Camera on back of house not clear and fuzzy. Told to clamber up myself and reset it. £60pm subscription and told cameras belong to them so if I cancel they take the goods or I can keep them for £10pm with no usage! Wished I'd never gone with them. Last agent was horrible.

Dear Jane,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand that it hasn’t met your expectations.
Your Arlo Video Doorbell not detecting motion can depend on several factors, such as the motion sensitivity settings, Wi‑Fi signal strength, and even the direction of movement. To adjust the motion sensitivity of your Video Doorbell, please refer to this support article:

Similarly, poor image quality from your Arlo camera may be caused by a weak Wi‑Fi signal or low upload internet speed. You can check your upload speed here: https://www.speedtest.net

Can’t get the cameras connected to the base station. It would appear despite checking with Arlo first that the newer cameras won’t connect and the solution is to sign up to subscriptions making their base station pointless. Such as shame as the older cameras work well and I just wanted to add 2 more to it

Reply from Arlo Security | United Kingdom
Dear Julie,
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
First, we recommend checking whether the Arlo camera model you’re trying to connect is compatible with your base station. You can find this information in the following support article: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/000062284/What-is-the-difference-between-each-Arlo-SmartHub-and-base-station
For example, our new Arlo Pro 6th Generation cameras are only compatible with VMB5000 and VMB4540 SmartHub models. Alternatively, these cameras can be connected directly to a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz Wi‑Fi network. You can read more about the Arlo Pro 6th Generation model here: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/000063576/arlo-pro-security-camera-2k-6th-gen-faq
If the camera you’re trying to sync with your base station is compatible, please first ensure that your base station is online (the Internet LED should be green). Also, make sure the camera is placed 1 to 3 meters away during the sync process.
You can find full troubleshooting steps here:
https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/000039094/My-Arlo-camera-will-not-sync-with-my-SmartHub-or-base-station-how-can-I-troubleshoot-it
Please note that an Arlo Secure subscription is not required to sync a camera with an Arlo SmartHub or base station, as long as the devices are compatible.
If you need further assistance, please contact our customer support team by visiting: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support
Under the “Contact Us” section, simply sign in to your Arlo account. If your cameras are new and still under warranty, you will be shown the phone number for our UK customer service, available Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 17:30.

Shocking Service
From start to finish my order with Arlo has been ABSOLUTELY shocking.
Firstly, I received cameras that had clearly been used before (the box was torn in more than one place, the cellophane bags inside had been opened and parts were missing).
Secondly, it took two weeks to obtain a returns label via email (this included one phone call and three emails to Customer Services to try to obtain this).
Thirdly, it has now been over 2 weeks since the item was returned back to Arlo and I am still waiting for a refund. Again, I have sent two emails and there is ZERO reply from Customer Service. This is not acceptable practice.
UPDATE: As of 8 June 2026, I am still waiting for both a refund and a reply from Customer Services. They are now outside their 14 day window for refunds which is illegal hence, I will be left with no choice but to report this company to the relevant bodies and action a chargeback from my bank. Honestly, I am simply disgusted with this company and would urge anyone thinking of making a purchase from them to steer well clear.
UPDATE AS OF 9 JUNE: In response to the reply left today by yourselves on Trustpilot, I would like to let you know that I do not use social media so I am unable to message you this way. I have already provided you with my email address that was used to place the order via your information request sent on Trustpilot. In addition, you also have my order number which is GB 0088690 / case number 00823236 and DPD returns tracking number 1550 1959 352 611. I have sent many emails to the email address provided on your website - orders@... The Live chat on your website just provides me with a bot and there is no phone number to contact you on. Seriously, what further information do you need because my patience has run out?
UPDATE AS OF 13 JUNE: I am still waiting for someone to contact me. You took my money on 27 April, sent me a used item and I've been chasing for a refund ever since. Could you please provide me with a phone number for a manager that I can speak to?
UPDATE AS OF 19 JUNE: Refund received today after some 7 weeks of chasing. Unsurprisingly there has been no apology or any explanation as to why it has taken so long. Hence, the lack of support or customer care means I most definitely will not be ordering a replacement!

No support
It is very easy to set up a subscription etc. But if you have an issue you cannot contact Arlo at all. All phone numbers don't work and emails bounce back. My doorbell camera picks up motion but stopped recording it so it's useless. I just get a notification that states motion and that's it. I can't see the motion. There is no way to contact Arlo. I've been trying for a week all different ways and it's not possible.

Absolutely disgusted with Arlo.
Absolutely disgusted with Arlo.
I’ve just realised they’ve been quietly increasing my subscription month after month without me even knowing.
It started around £8.50 a month.
Then it went to £10.
Then £16.99.
Now it’s suddenly £19.99.
That’s over a 135% increase from what I originally signed up for.
I searched my emails thinking maybe I’d missed something. Nope. Plenty of emails from Arlo in there, but nothing warning me about these price increases.
I contacted customer services and got the usual “we did send an email”. Funny that, because there’s absolutely no trace of it anywhere.
It honestly feels sneaky. Most people don’t sit checking every single direct debit each month, which is obviously what companies rely on.
The cameras are expensive enough in the first place, then they slowly creep the subscription up higher and higher hoping you won’t notice.
I definitely won’t be buying Arlo again after this. There are far too many better options out there now to deal with this sort of nonsense.
Check your bank statements if you’ve got an Arlo subscription because you might be paying way more than you think.

the hardware is actually fine HOWEVER…AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE
the hardware is actually fine HOWEVER their billing is straight up thievery and their customer service is HORRIBLE - They double billed me for the same service for 18 months!! (shame on me for not catching it sooner but i simply thought the rates went up - nope they just double billed me for the same service) When i called to inquire, I was told that it was my fault because I chose "Quantity 2" when i signed up. Obviously I did no such ridiculous thing - When I asked how that's even possible to order "2 service plans on the same camera" I was told that it was a glitch!!!! Oh and because it went back so far I cant get a refund - WHAT??? can someone make that make sense

Garbage
Garbage, pure and utterly garbage! Started with a plan of 2.90/month, Went up after 1 year to 5£/month and now its 8£/month for less options I was paying my first year! Decided to cancel my plan and t😤 keep the camera, but then I realised the camera its completly usless without a plan! Do Not buy this expensive garbage cause its usless without a plan and the plans are so expensive for some basic thing you get with a 19.99£ dorbell that it has more free features than the basic plan of this Garbage

Do not buy
Do not buy! I purchased the ultra 2 cameras paid in total around £400. Did not work from the start. Connection issues to start, then battery draining within 1 week not 6 months as advertised. Made a complaint not even and they sent me out a refurbished camera casing no battery no charger nothing , was told to connect this one to see if it works, couldn't connect to smart hub. We done all troubleshooting required , was told they would escalate and pass onto engineers as nothing was working. Didn't hear back, when I rang for update they made me re do all troubleshooting methods as well as things only a trained professional would understand. Ive asked for a refund but it would need to be approved first, I've asked to have chargers sent out to solve battery issues and nothing. They want you to do their jobs for them and when you want to speak to someone higher up , you cant as it's all though email. Absolute joke and a rip off complete waste of time !!!

You are at the mercy of Arlo.
A service that went from £2.50 a month to £8 a year for a doorbell that I also bought is the biggest rip-off on the market. If the doorbell was free it would make sense but in this case you are just buying a product that you can't do anything with and you are at the mercy of Arlo.

At this point I’m just going to assume they have fired all their software testers.
Not the first time, another app update that breaks either the leave or return home automation. Leaving my home totally unprotected until I check later and realised it hasnt worked.
As i said, not the first time I have contacted or reviewed them about this.
Only writing this review in the hope some prospective customer reads it before they go all in on the very expensive kit and subscription. I have cancelled mine and have started to switch to the far cheaper and far better Ring.
