      Do not buy any Arlo cameras. They are worthless. **************** is worthless and rude. I had my Arlo cameras for a year before I decided I was going to switch to any other camera. I have 3 of them and the batteries are complete garbage. They dont last longer than a week if not longer than 3 days. No matter the settings. Detection is absolutely terrible. It picks up the trees and shadows blowing in the wind and my flag in the far corners of the camera, which took me a while to figure out what it was even detecting with how closely I had to look to see movement. But anything else (animals, people, cars) ya know the important stuff it doesnt detect them until they are **** near on my front porch. Forget any cars that come into the driveway. They are an absolute waste of money. Stay clear of this company. Nothing but frustration. Wish I never would have bought them.

      DO NOT PURCHASE THROUGH THIS COMPANY! You will be stuck with products you can't use, an ability to return the product for a refund, and no way to contact the company directly for support.I ordered an ARLO system and between the order and product receipt, I discovered my internet would not support the product. Upon receipt, I attempted to process a return through the website, well within their 30 day return window. For many days, the return processing page simply gave me an error message, asking me to try again later. Every attempt was unsuccessful.ARLO provides an automated "customer support" system that is entirely AI based. They do not provide any way to directly communicate with a real person at the company - there is no email address, no phone number, nothing. The online chat simply repeats their policy and directs you to the return processing page - which again, was not functional for multiple weeks. We even tried to report the outage through the chat, to no avail.We disputed the charges as we were unable to communicate with the company; however, the company did respond to our credit card company - and told them that we had failed to follow their return policies and thus we were denied a refund. The credit card company has provided us with the contact information they have on file for ARLO so we are going to attempt that ******* this time, we would not recommend anyone purchase from this company. If their support for their product purchase and returns is so poor, I can't image how lousy their actual service would be if we had been able to use their system. BUYER BEWARE!

      Arlo was great the first year but I now cannot get anyone from Arlo on the phone. I have tried to open multiple cases online to only have the case closed without anyone contacting me. I tried to call the customer service number and the recording says the number is for outbound calls only. After a year and a half they stopped billing me and they will not accept my debit card or credit card for payment when I try to add a new one. I spent $500+ on cameras now to wonder if this company is a scam.

      Arlo customer support sucks!!! You can't reach anyone. Tried to cancel a year ago and they wanted $48 to cancel and/ $300 to sign on a new contract with. Tried to call today, just kept getting put through to a bunch of stupid sales items that had nothing to do with security cameras. Never did reach anyone. They're still been charging us monthly, even though the cameras have not worked for a year!! Even upped the monthly charge from ***** to $21.29 for Feb. We had to get my bank involved. They are a rip off.

      This company has taken money from me for a product that I cannot use, but they still have taken my money for a subscription and I cannot use the product. It is assigned to someone else for some reason. This is what your customer support told me so please cancel my account because I cant use it. please cancel and refund my money. Case with reference number ********. Your company is very hard to get in touch with anyone from Support. Its like they avoid you when it comes to owing you money or you trying to cancel your subscription. If youre going to spend money, theres always a representative available to help you, if you run into a problem they give you a case number and leave you hanging in the wind. Ive been a faithful member for over 5 years and they treat me like Im just some thug on the street. If you have a product that you cant use the only thing you can do is turn it in and not pay a monthly subscription for something that doesnt work. When I joined this company, they used to be great and kind and considerate to the customer, now its take the money and run.

      I've been receiving text messages from Arlo technologies telling me to go to my subscribed account and sign in, and reply to the dispute but I can't sign in because I am blocked from signing in but "Account suspended " yet Arlo took my money, so how can I respond? This makes no sense. And the number that you leave when I call it, it is not a call back number and when I reply, I can't reply to text so it's like you're going through the motions but nothings happening you look good by responding, but I can't respond at all. This is why I have an issue with your company. As long as you are receiving money, communications is great, but when the money stops, communication is almost impossible.

      Absolutely awful and a complete rip Off I had two people jump my fence and bang on my back door windows loudly but two cameras in the backyard picked up absolutely nothing Ive got excellent Wifi and solar panels on the cameras, they were fully charged. When I reached out to customer service they stated the cameras were not selected for arm home, I went to check and they are both included. You will not be safe, hope they go bankrupt

      Absolutely atrocious customer service. STAY AWAY!!! At this point, I am highly doubting if they are actually going to call anyone if there's ever an alarm event given that it's **** near impossible to get a meaningful response from their customer 'service'. One of my window sensors gave up and after being given the runaround by two representatives on their chat and finally offered a 30% coupon to purchase another sensor, guess what: the coupon didn't work. Oh, and by the way, the cheapest shipping is $10. I then requested a call-back, which said there was a 2 minute wait, then it changed to a 23 minute wait, but nobody ever called me back. I requested another call-back and someone finally called, asked me to 'patiently wait on hold' before they came back and gave me the same coupon code that DID NOT WORK in the first place. Up until this point, I had been quite pleased with my Arlo equipment but this whole experience has made me seriously question my decision to buy from them, let alone trust them with monitoring my house. All the time, I've been writing this review, I've been on hold again and they came back and told me that it's working for them, rather than give me a new coupon. Please please please stay away from Arlo products.

      Terrible customer service. Been having problems with wired camera essential indoor camera. This is my second camera with a problem won't connect to the WiFi. Been on the phone every day this is day four. They keep saying they will call me back, but never do. Still holding out hope they will resolve this issue. They keep telling me my case is elevated from service to tech then engineering, that's where I'm at. I don't know what's next. To be far I do have three wireless cameras out front with no problems they work great. I wish they would just take the wired camera back and send me a wireless camera.

      This company is mostly unreachable despite submitting support requests and questions about billing etc over a two week period.I terminated my subscription and service yet they still tried to charge me and caused issues with my bank. I wont recommend them and I wont do business with them ever again.
