      We have been a long-time customer of ********************** and purchased many of their cameras. It seems they are now selling products but NOT providing ANY support via phone OR Live Chat, as you can see from their website despite saying they DO offer it. To make the situation worse, once you submit a request for assistance, they ******* you with emails saying they tried reaching you by phone but actually DONT call, all to never support their products and help customers.We have a problem setting up our 8th camera and for days have been trying to get someone on the phone. We would like to speak with someone ASAP to get this resolved.Also, they should correct their website NOW to say they DONT provide live chat or phone ************ # is below.

      I am writing to express my growing concern regarding an unresolved security access issue with my Arlo cameras, which I have been experiencing since October ******* July 2024, I removed all granted access from my Arlo app and web version. However, an individual whom I had removed informed me that they still have access to my cameras. When I reached out to Arlo customer support, they confirmed that there is indeed still someone granted access to my cameras, despite the app and web version indicating otherwise. This discrepancy has persisted for several months, despite my repeated attempts to resolve the issue.I was informed by Arlo support in October 2024 that this is a known issue and that a resolution was being worked on. I followed up in January 2025, only to find that the issue remains unresolved. As a company that prides itself on security, it is concerning and disappointing that this significant security flaw has not been addressed promptly. This poses a serious security risk to me as a user, knowing that someone I have removed still has access to my cameras.Due to this ongoing issue, I have had to disconnect my cameras since October to prevent unauthorized access. This has rendered my security system ineffective, and I have been unable to utilize the service I am paying for. Despite multiple follow-ups and escalations, I have not received a satisfactory resolution or timeline for when this issue will be fixed.I am requesting a refund for the months I have been unable to use my security cameras due to this access control defect. Additionally, I am seriously considering switching to a different security camera provider if this issue is not resolved promptly, as the security of my home has been compromised for an extended period.I urge you to prioritize this matter and provide a resolution at the earliest. Your prompt attention to this issue would be greatly appreciated.Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

      This has been an ongoing issue with considerable conversations back-and-forth with Arlo support. I am attaching a detailed explanation of all contact, problems, etc. these cameras were purchased in September 2024, and the smart hub was purchased in October 2024 when we learned we could no longer access our videos. The plan was purchased in ******** and has been billed every month. All of this is detailed in the attached letter.

      I cannot in good faith accept their response as any type of resolution to this. To begin with, I did receive a voicemail message stating that they would be sending a camera and they would be forwarding an email to me with shipping information. I have not received this email nor confirmation of shipping and considering their track record of having put this off and given me a horrific run-around since January 3, I have no reason to believe that it will be on its way until I actually have the confirmation in hand. Secondly, this has not addressed the  fact that the charges for the required plan are coming out of my daughters credit card. My daughters name is not on this account and I have no idea how her credit card information was accessed and that needs to be corrected immediately, as withdrawing funds from her account for something she does not own is nothing short of fraudulent. I will naturally be happy to provide my own credit card information if they would kindly provide me with a link to change this. Furthermore, I was promised a month of no charges on this plan and I see nowhere where that has been addressed either. And lastly, in the voicemail they left me, it states that I need to return the defective camera within a week. This will be impossible as they are well aware of this camera system is set up on our second home and it will be 10 days before I am there to even retrieve the camera and install the new one, if in fact it does arrive. I would like to note that I will need time to install the camera to ensure that it does work once and if it does arrive, and again that is dependent on our next trip to this home, which is currently scheduled for mid February.   Once I receive email confirmation of shipping, and if the camera does arrive and is satisfactory, and these other issues are addressed then I will with reluctance close this complaint, despite the fact their customer service continues to remain less than stellar.

      I do have several updates to this complaint.  I received the camera yesterday, Jan 17.  As I stated previously, I will not be at our second home until later this coming week. Once I get the camera installed if it is in working order then, I will update the complaint at that time.
      The second issue that I have been having is in trying to get my payment method changed. As I stated previously for some reason, the payment for the plan that we purchased has been coming out of my daughters credit card. I have received instructions on how to change it, along with a promo code for a free month, however, as I told the customer service representative it does not work. When you go to the Arlo app, it tells you that any changes made to the subscription have to be made on *****************************. However, when you sign onto *****************************, it tells you that any changes have to be made on their app. I have attached screenshots from both the app and the website each directing you back to the other. This is beyond frustrating and my daughter is absolutely irate that we cannot get this removed from her card. This needs to be corrected immediately.
      And lastly, as I have mentioned to several different customer service representatives, I get emails from stating that I need to update my case. When I click on the link from the email, it will take me to this support case number and allow me to read it and comment. However, when I go back to see if it has been updated or to add something additional it does not exist. The only support case open under my support folder is an older one None of our current correspondence, nor the correct case number is listed under my support email folder. I have begged them to please make this case accessible so that I can continue to follow up. I would very much appreciate someone fixing this issue so that I can actually access this case.

      **it would not allow me to attach files

      Arlo charged my credit card without authorization on 10/30/24 in the amount of $89.99. I have tried endlessly to contact any support person via their app and chat on their website. It is impossible to reach them. They have also submitted false information to my bank when I disputed the charge.Arlo needs to do two things: 1) Reverse the charge of $89.99 immediately & cease charging my card. 2) Remove myself from their subscription to their doorbell which doesn't work as intended,.

      I have responded to Arlo via their technical support channel and received no response. This validates what I said in my complaint - they will make a half-hearted effort to respond and ignore answers to their response. Please issue a refund of $89.99 to my credit card, remove the credit card from your files and remove my Arllo Secure account ASAP.

      Hi Voltaire, 

      I hope this message finds you well.

      This is ******* from Arlo ************* Team, responding on behalf of **************** as he's currently out of the office. 

      We sincerely apologize for the delayed response. After reviewing your account, we found that a cancellation request for your subscription was submitted on 10/28/2024, which was a few days after your automatic renewal date of 10/18/2024. According to Arlo's Refund Policy, subscription fees are non-refundable, and we do not offer refunds or credits for partially used subscriptions. However, you will still have access to Arlo services until the end of your current billing period. For complete terms and conditions, please refer to this link: **********************************************************************.

      As a courtesy, we are happy to offer a refund on the condition that you acknowledge the immediate termination of service and any recordings on your Arlo system (if applicable). We will contact you at 9 AM PST to discuss the details further.

      Thank you, and we look forward to speaking with you soon.

      Starting in October my debit card d had to be replaced.. I contacted Arlo Technologies. Explaining I had to change my method of payment. Since then, Ive been billed $9.99 a month. All of my bank statements will verify this yesterday on January 10. I spoke with a representative. She told me that my monthly payment would be $19.99 a month, Previously, it was ***** per month. When I renewed my subscription, the plan they had offered was $9.99, which is still on their website. The woman I spoke with assured me that I had to do nothing else that they would take care of it, so once again, I get a cancellation notice today. I tried looking for their phone number and called the number and it said this might be a scam. All I want is my service back for $9.99 a month which is offered online right now for three essential cameras. This has been a nuisance company but does what I want it to do. If you can help me get this straightened out? I want my plan for $9.99 a month And to be automatically deducted from my checking account. The company has all of my credentials, in addition to all my payment methods.. As I said, the woman assured me, everything was OK so they closed the case number, the situation has not been rectified. The past Arlo case number is ********. There is another case number prior to this that I did not keep because I did not think I was going to have this much problems..Thanking you in advance for any help you can supply. ***** ********, ************************

      This situation is documented on Arlo support cases ********, ********, and ******** I purchased a Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight Camera in July 2023. The camera is wireless. The battery is rated to last 6 months. The first year of ownership, the battery did last the advertised amount of time. In July 2024, I opened a support case as the battery was now draining much quicker, with the camera dying in a few weeks after a full charge. The first claim lead me to troubleshoot with the support team, and they had me adjust some settings with the camera to hopefully optimize battery life. Those settings did not remedy the situation, and in October 2024 I opened a new claim with the same complaint. The second claim resulted in Arlo telling me the camera is recording several thousand videos a day and uploading them to the servers. This is why the camera is dying so quickly. In my Arlo app, the camera only logs about 2 videos each day, sometimes none at all. The camera is positioned in my empty backyard where this is little to no traffic by humans or animals, and of course, no vehicles unless the yard is being mowed. Arlo had me go through another round of settings adjustments and eventually told me if these adjustments didn't work, I would have to move the camera to a different spot. That defeats the purpose of the product. I want to keep a eye on a certain part of the yard with this camera. This camera should not be recording and uploading thousands of videos each day. Again, we only are alerted to activity on the app on average 2 times a day. I've now asked 3 times for the warranty to be honored as this product is not performing as advertised and Arlo has refused each time. The 1 year warranty period has now passed as well. My initial claim was filed before the warranty was up. I asked for replacement products then under warranty but it was refused because not all the troubleshooting steps were taken. I would like a resolution from Arlo on this manner.
