Troubleshooting
Camera not connecting to Wi-Fi
Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4 GHz. Check that the camera is within range of your router and that your Wi-Fi password is correct. Try restarting your router and the camera.
Floodlight not turning on
Verify the power connection is secure and the outlet is receiving power. Check the floodlight settings in the Arlo app to ensure it's enabled and configured correctly.
Poor video quality
Check your internet connection speed. Clean the camera lens. Ensure the camera is not pointed directly at a very bright light source, which can affect image quality.
False motion alerts
Adjust the motion detection sensitivity in the Arlo app. Utilize the Activity Zone feature to define specific areas for monitoring and exclude high-traffic or irrelevant zones. Ensure you have the latest firmware updates installed.
Siren not activating
Confirm the siren is enabled in the Arlo app settings and that it's configured to activate based on your desired triggers. Check that the camera has a stable internet connection.
