A significant number of people were dissatisfied with the subscription model, noting that it was expensive and often required even after purchasing the camera, making the devices useless without it. However, some customers also noted that certain products, like the Arlo doorbell camera and Ultra 3 camera, worked well, were easy to install, and offered good video quality and features. 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.

If there was a negative value star they’d get it. Incompetent to a new level. I was on the phone with customer support for well over an hour and no nearer to solving my problem. Currently I have no doorbell working due to no subscription, which I currently have in place. Clueless. Wish I had gone with Ring

Not good dark picture

Arlo Security | United Kingdom logo

Reply from Arlo Security | United Kingdom

Hi Anthony,

We're sorry to hear that the nighttime image quality did not meet your expectations.

If you’re referring to poor image quality when night vision is enabled, please first ensure that your Arlo camera is not pointed toward reflective surfaces. Reflections can cause the infrared light to bounce back into the lens, resulting in a degraded image. You should also check that the infrared (IR) LEDs are actually turning on. You can verify this by looking at the front of the camera; if you see a faint red glow, the IR LEDs are active.

Additionally, make sure your camera is not pointed toward another camera or any device with infrared LEDs, as your Arlo camera can detect IR light from any external infrared source.

Good doorbell but battery drains quite fast

We got the new doorbell when we moved house. It seems to be faster than the old one but we still have to charge it a lot - we live on a busy road.

Very slow to connect to camera regardless of device connecting with. New cameras fail to join my account. Considerable lag when talking (around 15 second delay) for example i can open the door, the delivery man hand me the parcel and shut the door again before the "live" feed even shows me opening the door.

In response to Arlo (and thank you for getting back to me, my internet speed is 1gbps and a distance of 2 meters from router for 1 device. 200mbps and a distance of 10 meters for the second device. The same issue for both.

Hi Sam,

We’re sorry to hear about the issues you’ve been experiencing.

All the problems you mentioned—delays when starting camera streams, significant lag, and difficulty onboarding some of your cameras—may stem from the same cause: a poor upload Internet speed. You can review the minimum requirements for Arlo systems here: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/000062043/What-are-the-minimum-requirements-for-installing-and-using-my-Arlo-system

You can check your connection by running a speed test here: https://www.speedtest.net

Another possible reason for delays is a weak Wi-Fi signal to the cameras, which may be due to excessive distance from the router, physical obstacles, or strong Wi-Fi interference nearby.

To allow our support team to help you further with onboarding your cameras and investigating the cause of the delays, please contact our experts by following these steps:

Over priced for what you get and under preforms against much cheaper CCTV systems.

Over priced for what you get, cant even download CCTV footage, when I asked Arlo if I can download CCTV they said no you cant download CCTV clips, you have to use third party screen recorders!! I also have a 1gb internet line at home and the cameras always have lag, I gave up on the Arlo door bell as to talk to a delivery driver the lag is so bad to link up and scrapped the Arlo door bell camera and use a cheaper one that work fine. So for what you pay rip off. I have used Alro for 15 years and the price fro store doesn’t just creep up it sky rockets. If I had not spent so much on the Arlo hardware already I would have gone with a different manufacture for sure. Arlo need to have a good hard look at themselves as a business model and make some changes.

Hi Damian,

We are sorry to hear about your experience and the issues you’ve been encountering with your Arlo cameras.

If you are referring to downloading CVR (Continuous Video Recording) 24/7 footage, please note that this feature is indeed currently not supported. CVR recordings can only be viewed from the cloud. You can learn more about CVR here:
https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/1018425/What-is-continuous-video-recording-CVR-and-how-do-I-use-it

Regarding the delays you're experiencing with your cameras and Video Doorbell: even with a fast Internet connection, this can occur if the Wi-Fi signal is weak. Common causes include excessive distance from the router, physical obstacles, or strong Wi-Fi interference nearby.

We would appreciate the opportunity to further investigate the lag issues you’re facing and help you find a resolution. We invite you to contact our customer service again by following these steps:

Reply from Arlo Security | United Kingdom

Hi Oskar,

We’re sorry to hear about the connectivity issues you’re experiencing.

If your cameras frequently go offline, there may be several possible causes. First, please check the Wi‑Fi signal strength and ensure it is not too weak, as this can affect performance. Distance from the router, physical obstacles, and even strong Wi‑Fi interference nearby may impact the connection.

We also recommend performing a speed test, as a low upload speed can cause the cameras to lose connection: https://www.speedtest.net
