From start to finish my order with Arlo has been ABSOLUTELY shocking.
Firstly, I received cameras that had clearly been used before (the box was torn in more than one place, the cellophane bags inside had been opened and parts were missing).
Secondly, it took two weeks to obtain a returns label via email (this included one phone call and three emails to Customer Services to try to obtain this).
Thirdly, it has now been over 2 weeks since the item was returned back to Arlo and I am still waiting for a refund. Again, I have sent two emails and there is ZERO reply from Customer Service. This is not acceptable practice.
UPDATE: As of 8 June 2026, I am still waiting for both a refund and a reply from Customer Services. They are now outside their 14 day window for refunds which is illegal hence, I will be left with no choice but to report this company to the relevant bodies and action a chargeback from my bank. Honestly, I am simply disgusted with this company and would urge anyone thinking of making a purchase from them to steer well clear.
UPDATE AS OF 9 JUNE: In response to the reply left today by yourselves on Trustpilot, I would like to let you know that I do not use social media so I am unable to message you this way. I have already provided you with my email address that was used to place the order via your information request sent on Trustpilot. In addition, you also have my order number which is GB 0088690 / case number 00823236 and DPD returns tracking number 1550 1959 352 611. I have sent many emails to the email address provided on your website - orders@... The Live chat on your website just provides me with a bot and there is no phone number to contact you on. Seriously, what further information do you need because my patience has run out?
UPDATE AS OF 13 JUNE: I am still waiting for someone to contact me. You took my money on 27 April, sent me a used item and I've been chasing for a refund ever since. Could you please provide me with a phone number for a manager that I can speak to?
UPDATE AS OF 19 JUNE: Refund received today after some 7 weeks of chasing. Unsurprisingly there has been no apology or any explanation as to why it has taken so long. Hence, the lack of support or customer care means I most definitely will not be ordering a replacement!

Only just acquired the set-up so no real experience to quote - but to date I am very happy with the whole experience. Thank you

It is very easy to set up a subscription etc. But if you have an issue you cannot contact Arlo at all. All phone numbers don't work and emails bounce back. My doorbell camera picks up motion but stopped recording it so it's useless. I just get a notification that states motion and that's it. I can't see the motion. There is no way to contact Arlo. I've been trying for a week all different ways and it's not possible.

Absolutely disgusted with Arlo.
I’ve just realised they’ve been quietly increasing my subscription month after month without me even knowing.
It started around £8.50 a month.
Then it went to £10.
Then £16.99.
Now it’s suddenly £19.99.
That’s over a 135% increase from what I originally signed up for.
I searched my emails thinking maybe I’d missed something. Nope. Plenty of emails from Arlo in there, but nothing warning me about these price increases.
I contacted customer services and got the usual “we did send an email”. Funny that, because there’s absolutely no trace of it anywhere.
It honestly feels sneaky. Most people don’t sit checking every single direct debit each month, which is obviously what companies rely on.
The cameras are expensive enough in the first place, then they slowly creep the subscription up higher and higher hoping you won’t notice.
I definitely won’t be buying Arlo again after this. There are far too many better options out there now to deal with this sort of nonsense.
Check your bank statements if you’ve got an Arlo subscription because you might be paying way more than you think.

the hardware is actually fine HOWEVER their billing is straight up thievery and their customer service is HORRIBLE - They double billed me for the same service for 18 months!! (shame on me for not catching it sooner but i simply thought the rates went up - nope they just double billed me for the same service) When i called to inquire, I was told that it was my fault because I chose "Quantity 2" when i signed up. Obviously I did no such ridiculous thing - When I asked how that's even possible to order "2 service plans on the same camera" I was told that it was a glitch!!!! Oh and because it went back so far I cant get a refund - WHAT??? can someone make that make sense
Garbage, pure and utterly garbage! Started with a plan of 2.90/month, Went up after 1 year to 5£/month and now its 8£/month for less options I was paying my first year! Decided to cancel my plan and t😤 keep the camera, but then I realised the camera its completly usless without a plan! Do Not buy this expensive garbage cause its usless without a plan and the plans are so expensive for some basic thing you get with a 19.99£ dorbell that it has more free features than the basic plan of this Garbage
Arlo=thieves în a Armani Suit 🤦♂️

Do not buy! I purchased the ultra 2 cameras paid in total around £400. Did not work from the start. Connection issues to start, then battery draining within 1 week not 6 months as advertised. Made a complaint not even and they sent me out a refurbished camera casing no battery no charger nothing , was told to connect this one to see if it works, couldn't connect to smart hub. We done all troubleshooting required , was told they would escalate and pass onto engineers as nothing was working. Didn't hear back, when I rang for update they made me re do all troubleshooting methods as well as things only a trained professional would understand. Ive asked for a refund but it would need to be approved first, I've asked to have chargers sent out to solve battery issues and nothing. They want you to do their jobs for them and when you want to speak to someone higher up , you cant as it's all though email. Absolute joke and a rip off complete waste of time !!!

A service that went from £2.50 a month to £8 a year for a doorbell that I also bought is the biggest rip-off on the market. If the doorbell was free it would make sense but in this case you are just buying a product that you can't do anything with and you are at the mercy of Arlo.

At this point I’m just going to assume they have fired all their software testers.
Not the first time, another app update that breaks either the leave or return home automation. Leaving my home totally unprotected until I check later and realised it hasnt worked.
As i said, not the first time I have contacted or reviewed them about this.
Only writing this review in the hope some prospective customer reads it before they go all in on the very expensive kit and subscription. I have cancelled mine and have started to switch to the far cheaper and far better Ring.

I tried to buy some cameras from Arlo but the system said they do not deliver to Scotland. I called their support line for help but if you do not agree to the call being recorded you are put to the end of the queue.

My Video Doorbell alows me to see whats happening even when I'm not at home. Love that it also has a siren so I can scare off potential package thieves.

Following an update to the new Arlo Security App (iPhone) version 6.27.0 yesterday, my 3 Arlo Q Plus cameras all disappeared from the app following a reboot of the app. I have followed all the guidance to re add the cameras, but none of the methods work. When you try to raise a support ticket, you can't until you pay for a subscription.
Update: 19/05/2026 - Following the response from Arlo today, I did find my Home location to be defaulted to an area away from my actual home. I corrected this via the app, and changed my phone's WIFI connection to 2.4Ghz and successfully added all three of my cameras back onto the app. This home location information really should be front and centre to everyone updating the app to avoid the issues I experienced, however I am please Arlo reached out via Trust Pilot to assist me in restoring my cameras and system.

I've been using Arlo for several years and have older Pro and Pro2 models that work flawlessly. However, newer pro models and essential models have proved unreliable. I've had a support ticket open for months and it's not really going anywhere. Here's my final reply on the ticket to give you a flavour of the problems and my poor experience:
I don't see how sharing my phones app logs would help or even how to do that. The camera behaviour is irrelevant of which app or device I use. On top of that, the cameras continue to stop recording randomly, while some do not keep charge and a few lose connection even when close to the hub they're connected to. Happily though, the original Pro and Pro2 cameras remain faultless, unlike all the more modern cameras :(
I have now cancelled my Arlo subscription and will be selling all of my cameras, except for the Pro and Pro2 models, because they are not worth all this trouble and hassle. I've tried another brand and they just work, which is all I've ever wanted.
To add to that, the live view has always been slow and laggy, maybe 5 seconds behind.

I have now set up my new Arlo cameras. Wow, the picture quality is incredible very impressive. The setup was really simple and straightforward. The clarity of the cameras are phenomenal even when tracking. The look is sleek and the battery seems very good.
They Were a little bit more expensive than some of the other brands but immediately get them out the box you can tell why. They are quality product. Seems the story is true. You get what you pay for. I would definitely recommend it you will not be disappointed

Stop constantly increasing prices for long standing customers- fed up of negotiating with your company- maybe consider rewarding loyalty with reduced monthly payments?!

Reply from Arlo Security | United Kingdom
It’s gone from good to worst in matter of a year! Zero support from customer service! Have been trying to get in touch with them to get my doorbell working and have reached no where in the last one month with absolutely nowhere to go! No customer service number! Chat supper only a not working chatbot which is configured incorrectly! I pay almost 100 quid for a service which is appalling! Will cancel it soon and will make sure all my friends do the same too

After using my Arlo doorbell camera for the last year I'm very happy with it. Connects easily to the app which myself and my partner can both use on our phones meaning we never miss a delivery. It was so easy to install, the battery lasts a long time, and recharges quickly.
