Troubleshooting
Camera not connecting to Base Station
Ensure the Base Station is powered on and connected to the router. Try resynchronizing the camera by pressing the sync button on both the camera and Base Station within the specified time frame. Check for wireless interference.
Poor video quality or frequent disconnections
Verify your Wi-Fi signal strength at the camera's location. Ensure your internet connection meets the minimum upload speed requirements (1 Mbps per camera). Move the Base Station closer to the router or camera, or consider a Wi-Fi extender.
Motion detection not triggering alerts
Check the motion detection settings in the Arlo app. Ensure the detection zones and sensitivity are configured correctly. Verify that the camera is properly powered and connected. If using Arlo Smart, ensure the service is active and configured for desired alerts.

Ensure the IR LEDs are not obstructed. Check if the 'Day/Night Mode' is set to 'Auto' or 'Night' in the camera settings. Clean the camera lens.
