They work!

Fast delivery and easy set up as I already have outdoor cameras. These were to watch the dogs while we’re out as they tilt rotate and zoom.

Dear Stuart,

Thank you for your positive review!

We're delighted to hear that your cameras are working well and that the delivery was fast. It’s great to know the setup was easy—especially since you’re already familiar with our outdoor cameras.

We're also glad that the new cameras help you keep an eye on your dogs while you're out. It’s always nice to hear how our products support everyday peace of mind.

Arlo Doorbell Fails at Core Function - Formal Complaint Ignored


I have submitted a formal complaint regarding my Arlo doorbell, and have raised several cases, which suffers from a persistent 15+ second live-view delay that prevents real-time communication.

This device is a security and intercom tool. The delay means I cannot see or speak to visitors before they leave, making the product unfit for its intended purpose.

I have a fully documented support history including troubleshooting and network optimization:
• High-performance fiber connection (500/50 Mbps)
• Manual 2.4GHz channel assignment to eliminate interference

Despite emailing executive contacts, support team and setting a formal 7-day deadline, I received no response.

This is a serious failure to respond to a consumer complaint regarding a security device. I am still open to resolution, including a replacement unit capable of real-time performance or an alternative resolution.

Arlo, please confirm receipt and escalate this immediately. Ignoring this complaint is unacceptable for a product marketed as a reliable home security solution.

Dear customer,

We’re truly sorry to hear about the delay issues you’re experiencing with your Arlo Doorbell, as well as the difficulties you’ve encountered with our customer service, including the lack of timely responses. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.

Along with ensuring a stable Wi‑Fi environment and a fast internet connection, it’s also important that the doorbell receives a strong Wi‑Fi signal. To help reduce delays, please make sure your Video Doorbell is positioned close enough to your router and that there are no major obstacles interfering with the signal.

To further review your interactions with our support team and escalate your case, we’ve sent you an information request here on Trustpilot. When responding, please include your full name, the email address linked to your Arlo account, and any existing case numbers. We appreciate your cooperation and look forward to assisting you.

Good hardware but very expensive subscription costs each month and what you get for that cost is minimal compared to cheaper products out there

Good hardware but subscriptions and the most expensive out there. You can even download footage and have to use your own third party app to do this. Arlo need to look at the rest of the home cctv market and understand what you can and more for less cost. Netgear need to wake up.

I have been having a series of problems with doorbell and camera not working. I have spent a lot if tome on the phone, chatbot but never completely solved the problems. The last try ended with them connecting me with Kamal - who I know is in the US, (he previously told me he could not help me), and asked for my card details. As I am paying £50+ a month, I think my support should be covered by that. Impossible! I am thinking i need to leave them. I want a technician to come and reset my system, but they are not interested.

Arlo is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with. 2 months to deal with an issue and still not. resolved.
The use a call centre in Morocco called Diablo, who have very little knowledge and absolutely no decision-making ability. I now assume Arlo the company is 1 guy sitting in the back of his parents' house; this is certainly not a real company. I have contacted Amazon about them and asked them to stop stocking Arlo.

Really Annoyed. Live view lost !!

I have 3 cameras situated in my unmanned workshop 30 miles away. Live view has stopped and needs a firmware update. I have tried to do this remotely and each time (taking 5mins) it fails to do this. I have to travel 30 miles to reset and update the hub and cameras. Its a joke and very expensive too....

Hi Steve,

We’re sorry to hear about the difficulties you encountered while updating the firmware on your Arlo cameras, and we apologise for the inconvenience this caused.

Firmware update issues can sometimes occur due to a low upload speed, which may prevent the update from completing successfully. A weak Wi‑Fi signal can also contribute to this issue. This may be caused by excessive distance from the router, physical obstacles, or strong Wi‑Fi interference in the area.

You can run a speed test of your Internet connection here: https://www.speedtest.net/

If the issue happens again, or if you need help with anything else, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service. Our experts will be happy to assist you. To reach our team, please follow these steps:

DO NOT BUY!!

I used Arlo for several years. When I started you didn’t have to pay for a subscription. The older cameras would have detection issues constantly which they had no reliable fix for (software updates included). Then they came out with newer cameras, which of course came with a catch 22. Subscription service! I was basically stuck with and paid for a service that wasn’t truly necessary. The next year the price went up drastically and I decided I wasn’t gonna play the bait and switch game anymore. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR GREAT SECURITY CAMERAS WITH THE BS SUBSCRIPTION——-CHECK OUT EUFY SECURITY. THEY’RE SOLD ON AMAZON. FAIR PRICE!

Hi Les,

We're sorry to hear about your disappointment.

Detection issues on your older cameras may have occurred for several reasons, such as low motion sensitivity, limited upload bandwidth, or a weak Wi‑Fi signal. The direction of movement may also affect detection accuracy, as our cameras are more responsive to side‑to‑side motion than to movement directly toward or away from the camera.

Our Arlo Secure subscription, in addition to providing cloud recording, offers several advanced features designed to enhance security and give you greater peace of mind. You can read more about all the benefits of Arlo Secure on our website:

Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera

I purchased this camera brand new from the Arlo website, and it stopped working within the two-year warranty period. When I contacted support, they initially sent a replacement battery and advised me to reinstall the camera. Unfortunately, the issue was clearly a defective unit, and this did not resolve anything.

It then took over a month to receive another response, citing staffing issues. Eventually, they agreed to send a replacement camera. The replacement unit arrived scratched and clearly refurbished — and it also did not work. I documented multiple failed installation attempts with screenshots.

Support again delayed responding and sent lengthy reinstall instructions. Before I could even complete the steps and reply, my case was closed. Since then, my emails have gone unanswered.

As a customer who owns multiple Arlo cameras, this experience has been extremely disappointing. I expected better warranty support and quality control. Based on this experience, I will be replacing my entire system with another brand.
