Subscription is too expensive
Subscription is too expensive, despite turning down its sensitivity to cars passing to a minimum to reduce unnecessary notifications, I still get notifications for every car that passes within its coverage, not to mention that it does not always record people close to the property, almost as if it chooses when to record and when not to. I'm not sure you can even retrieve old recordings, which I assume is why I pay the monthly subscription, but I have to figure that out on my own and reach out to them separately. I know someone will try to reach out to me after this review, but my question is, why not fix these issues in the first place, rather than come on here to give a generic response as an act. Please do not reach out to me unless you actually can resolve these issues, not just for me but for everyone. I would have switched to a different provider but cameras are quite expensive.

Dear Folakemi,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
To further reduce unwanted motion detection caused by cars passing through your camera’s field of view (FOV), if changing the camera's position is not an option, we recommend setting up cloud Activity Zones, which are available with your Arlo Secure subscription, as you mentioned you already have.
Activity Zones allow you to focus motion detection on specific areas within your device’s field of view. When your Arlo camera detects motion, it determines whether that motion occurred within one of the Activity Zones you’ve created. If motion is detected within an Activity Zone, the Arlo Secure app sends you a notification and uploads the recording to your Feed. You can learn more about Activity Zones and how to set them up here:
https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/1001908/What-are-activity-zones-and-how-do-I-create-them
Using Activity Zones may also allow you to increase your camera’s motion sensitivity again, which could be the reason it is intermittently failing to detect people close to your property. Please also take into account the direction of movement; our cameras’ motion sensors are more sensitive to side-to-side motion across the field of view than to movement directly toward or away from the camera. For optimal results, the best detection range is 1.5 to 6 metres from the camera. For additional tips on optimising motion detection, please visit: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/1015583/How-do-I-optimize-motion-detection-for-my-Arlo-camera
Additionally, Arlo Smart Notifications let you filter alerts by people, vehicles, animals, and packages, helping to further reduce unnecessary notifications. For more information, please see: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/000062927/what-are-arlo-s-advanced-motion-alerts-and-how-do-i-set-them-up-arlo-secure-4-0
Depending on the specific subscription plan you have, your recordings stored in the Arlo cloud are retained as follows:
• Secure and Secure Plus plans: 14 days
• Secure Pro plan: 30 days
Once a recording is deleted from the Arlo cloud, it cannot be recovered.
Please rest assured that customer satisfaction is our top priority. We would be happy to offer you direct assistance with the motion detection issues you’re experiencing. To contact our customer support, please visit: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support
Under the “Contact Us” section, log in to your main Arlo account and choose your preferred contact option. As an Arlo Secure subscriber, you have access to phone support, available Monday to Friday, from 10:00 to 18:00.

Arlo's customer "support" is beyond dreadfull…
This review is mainly about Arlo's Customer 'Support' - which is mainly non-existant.
I recenly bought an Essential Security Camera (model VMC3080) together with the right compatible Arlo Solar Charging Panel (model VMA7800). No matter what I did, the Solar Panel would NOT link up with the camera and work. I sent it back for a refund, and Arlo refunded me for it AND the camera (which I had kept as it worked just fine). Arlo then refunded me for the whole order - Solar Panel AND Camera. I then told them through a long a tedious "Chat", and eventually got a request for ME to send the money for the camera back to them - they had NOT supplied proper Bank details for me to do so. 2 emails later, I got the details and sent the money back to them. I requested an email address to send a complaint in - and was told that this did not exist. Basically, they have NO complaints procedures - you get fobbed off with "Support" or "contact the customer Forum if you've technical problems" etc etc.
In the meantime, I bought another Solar Panel and yes, you guessed it, this doesn't work either.
So I am stuck with another duff product, and no way of complaining. To finish, I will NEVER buy another Arlo product and I suggest if you are looking for security cameras, do NOT buy Arlo. Get a product with proper customer support and somewhere to complain to when things go wrong, and you can't get any help. Arlo (and VERISURE as well - they weren't any better) - you have been unhelpful and appalling.
EDIT 28/4:
The email I gave was my email: the email linked to the cameras is my joint email which I am not prepared to advise openly here. If you email me to my email, I can then send you the email address linked to the camera (I do not use Social Media).

I am currently trapped in a support…
I am currently trapped in a support chat loop that can only be described as a total system failure. I have an Arlo Essential XL camera (rated for 1 year of battery) that is losing 3% charge per day—mathematically dying in 33 days.
Despite providing undeniable proof, including a swap test that confirmed the fault follows the hardware, the support experience has been an absolute circus:
Incompetence: The agent repeatedly quoted the wrong product specs (3-6 months) and tried to "upsell" me a solar panel to fix a clearly defective battery.
The "Leaks": The agent has accidentally sent me their internal AI-generated case summaries TWICE. In these notes, the agent literally wrote that "activity isn't the cause" and "the hardware is underperforming"—yet they still refuse to process the RMA.
The Script Bot: After admitting the hardware is at fault in their own notes, they then copy-pasted an internal manual telling me to "get the customer to walk in front of the device." He then proceeded to end the chat

Dear Dario,
We’re sorry to hear about the delay you’ve been experiencing with your Arlo device.
One possible cause to check first is the upload speed of your internet connection. You can verify this by running a speed test here:
https://www.speedtest.net/it
Depending on the model, Arlo devices require between 1 and 3 Mbps of upload speed per camera to function properly. You can find more detailed information about system requirements here: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/000062043/What-are-the-minimum-requirements-for-installing-and-using-my-Arlo-system
Another factor to consider is the Wi‑Fi signal strength at the camera’s location. A weak or unstable signal can lead to issues such as delayed motion detection or lag during live streaming. Distance from the router, physical obstacles, and strong wireless interference in the surrounding area can all contribute to this behaviour.
Lastly, as you mentioned that your Arlo cameras were purchased through Verisure, we recommend contacting Verisure support for further assistance. If you’re based in Italy, you can reach them using the following link: https://www.verisure.it/contatti

Long-Term User — Software Has Become Unusable
Long-Term User — Software Has Become Unusable
I have been using Arlo Technologies cameras for many years. At one stage, I had around 30 cameras installed across my setup, so I’m not a casual or inexperienced user. However, I have since reduced that number to less than half.
One of the reasons for cutting back was the introduction of subscription fees for features that were originally free when I purchased the cameras. Yes, I’m aware this is probably covered somewhere in the small print, and companies reserve the right to change terms — but that doesn’t make it feel any less like a bait-and-switch.
That said, this is not the main reason for this review.
The real issue is the software.
Over the years, the software has been updated multiple times, and in my experience, it has become progressively worse with each iteration. The most recent update in April 2026 has made it virtually unusable for my setup.
I appreciate that my configuration may be more complex than the average user’s. However, the fundamental problem is simple: I used to be able to view all my cameras easily in one place. Now, it requires constant jumping between different screens and sections, making what was once straightforward now frustrating and inefficient.
Good software should make things simpler, not more complicated.
I find it astonishing that changes of this magnitude are released without proper real-world user testing. It feels like the software is being designed and approved by engineers who may be technically capable, but who are not considering how ordinary users — even experienced ones — actually interact with the system day-to-day.
For a product that depends so heavily on usability, this is a serious failure.
I am fully aware that there are competitors offering similar hardware at comparable upfront costs, but without ongoing subscription fees and with more user-friendly software. Given the current direction, I will be moving away from Arlo as my existing cameras reach the end of their useful life — and, frankly, the latest update may accelerate that decision.
It’s disappointing, because the hardware itself has generally been solid. But in the end, poor software undermines everything

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS…
DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS COMPANY’S PRODUCTS. Since installing these “security cameras”, the app was accessed by an unknown device - by a burglar or stranger living in my block of flats. After moving into this property, I noticed things missing - and stolen through the night while I’ve been sleeping. I bought these camera cameras being assured that this would solve the problem, the customer service team is pathetic - they don’t even record the videos or save the recordings (so if you’re burgled or need any evidence you won’t be able to get any, as apparently the videos show up as numbers and not video as I was told by a customer service agent. I spent three hours on the phone, with children in my apartment - I had a window broken into, and items stolen through the night. These cameras were hacked, within three days are install. I received an email that said that an iOS device running a different iOS to mine - had logged into the account. Arlo could do absolutely nothing about this, they couldn’t tell me any detail details of the device that logged in - and they couldn’t even block the device from using the app. This was with the investigations team for over three weeks and I’ve had absolutely zero response. I am now looking at more reputable, reliable, and companies more worthy of your money and my money for a sense of security in your home. Possibly Ring camera, or Verisure. THIS COMPANY IS A FRAUD - do not purchase their products. I guarantee you you will end up returning them and you will be unsatisfied with their performance. Pathetic lies in their marketing.

Dear Lloyd,
We are truly and sincerely sorry to hear about your experience with your Arlo cameras, as well as what happened in your home and during your interactions with our customer support. We understand how upsetting this situation must have been, and we apologise for the frustration and distress this has caused.
Please note that when a camera successfully saves a recording to the Arlo cloud, it should be available for viewing and playback in the Feed section of both the Arlo Secure app and our web portal at my.arlo.com. There are, however, several reasons why a recording may not be available; for example, the camera may have been temporarily offline, or at that moment it may have been set to a mode in which video recording was disabled. You can find more detailed information about possible causes here: https://www.arlo.com/en_gb/support/faq/000062661/why-are-there-no-recordings-in-the-arlo-library
We would also like to assure you that we treat all potential security-related cases with the utmost priority and seriousness. We are fully committed to thoroughly investigating this occurrence to determine exactly what happened. To do so, we would also like to review your interactions with our customer support team and escalate your concerns internally so they can be properly addressed. For this reason, we ask that you respond to the information request we sent to you through Trustpilot. Please be sure to include your full name, the email address associated with your primary Arlo account, and the case number from your previous interactions with our support team.
We truly hope you will allow us the opportunity to assist you further and make things right.
Best regards,
Arlo Europe Support
