Arlo is hiding from its customers - Forced obsolescence and zero support
I am a paying Arlo Secure subscriber, but Arlos behavior is disgraceful. Last night, they pushed a forced software update that remotely disabled core functionality on my perfectly fine Arlo Q camera. By excluding high-quality hardware from the new Routines system, Arlo is intentionally creating e-waste to force upgrades. To make matters worse, they have effectively shut down all support channels. Live Chat and Phone lines both claim to be closed during stated business hours. The Support Bot is a useless loop that disconnects you automatically. Even their official support email is set to Private, meaning it bounces back emails from customers claiming we are not allowed senders. Disabling functional hardware and then hiding behind broken support systems is a total breach of trust. If you value sustainability and customer service, stay far away from Arlo.
UPDATE 17/04/2026
@Arlo Security | United Kingdom: Thank you for the reply, but I will not be providing personal account details. This is not an isolated 'account issue' that needs escalation—it is a documented software limitation in your new UI.
You claim that Arlo Q is fully compatible with the new Routines feature. This is factually incorrect. In the new app interface, under the Routines section, it specifically states: 'Some devices will not be able to participate in custom modes.' The Arlo Q is one of these devices; it has vanished from the scheduling menus entirely.
Instead of asking for my personal data, you should address why your official support response contradicts the actual error messages displayed inside your own app. I am not looking for 'assistance'; I am reporting a systemic failure and the forced obsolescence of functional hardware.
UPDATE 18/04/2026: Thank you for the update and for providing additional details. Arlo has now officially confirmed that the Arlo Q is indeed not compatible with Custom Modes in the new UI.
While you claim the three standard modes are 'customizable', this is a significant downgrade. Users can no longer automate a complex schedule, effectively stripping a perfectly functional device of its core utility. This is a textbook example of software-driven forced obsolescence, showing a total disregard for sustainability by creating unnecessary e-waste.
To make matters worse, the new UI constantly spams my phone with push notifications every time a mode changes, with no way to disable these without silencing critical security alerts.
Adding to the frustration is the abysmal support experience. After waiting an extra hour just for the chat to open, I spent over two hours in a fruitless conversation with an agent who was unaware of the very limitations confirmed here. To be forced into a hardware replacement due to poor software migration—and then wasting three hours on incompetent support—is unacceptable. My 1-star rating remains firmly in place.

Dear Tom,
We sincerely regret learning about your experience with your Arlo Q camera following the Arlo Secure app upgrade, and we apologise for the difficulties you’ve encountered when trying to reach our support team. Please rest assured that it is not our intention to downgrade or disable core functionalities of our legacy camera models, including the Arlo Q.
Additionally, we’d like to reassure you that all of our legacy cameras (with the exception of the Arlo Go model) are compatible with the new Arlo Secure app, including the Routines feature.
To ensure you’re setting up your Routines correctly, we recommend taking a look at our instructional video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ8eoqC6ms8&t=1s
To help us better understand the issue you’re experiencing with your Arlo Q camera and the new Routines in the updated Arlo Secure app interface, please reply to the information request we’ve shared with you here on Trustpilot. Be sure to include your full name and the email address associated with your primary Arlo account. This will allow us to locate your account in our system and escalate your case to our customer service team for further assistance. Thank you for your cooperation!
Best regards,

EDIT:
Thank you very much for your update and for providing additional details regarding your inquiry. It is indeed correct that the Arlo Q, Arlo Q Plus, and Arlo Baby camera models are not compatible with Custom Modes in the new Arlo Secure app interface. That said, these models continue to support the Arm Away, Arm Home, and Standby modes. Each of these modes can still be fully customized to meet your desired detection preferences by adjusting the rules within the mode for the selected Arlo device.
To learn more about how to manage the three Modes and customize them, please take a look at the instructional video we’ve prepared: https ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZ8eoqC6ms8

I would not recommend this company.
I would strongly advise others to avoid this company.
They make it extremely difficult to cancel a subscription, and there appears to be no accessible customer service support to resolve issues. Attempts to get assistance are frustrating and unproductive.
Overall, this has been a complete waste of time and a very disappointing experience. The lack of transparency and support is unacceptable.
I would not recommend this company.

Arlo's ongoing restrictions on shared services
Arlo's ongoing restrictions on the ability for a shared access camera to record from a non paid to a paid subscription (on the same base station / same property) gives users a false sense of security.
While shared users can still view live streams and receive notifications without a subscription, their access and the paid users access to the library (recorded footage) on shared accounts is not just limited, in our case it was broken and while showing over 1,000 feeds, none existed when we needed to see a security breach - which we could do for the prior 2 years!
Alro does not update its users on these changes it makes to its back end restrictions, so you have no idea if what worked on day one, on set up will work when you need it a year or two later. I'd definitely not recommend this service. Complete waste of money in our case.

I am trying to cancel a subscription
I am trying to cancel a subscription. And I have deleted my account and sent a cancellation email. I am still being billed for a subscription I no longer am using. The word cancellation in the email was completely ignored, and the Arlo team, sent an email talking about a Authorised reset and notification? I did not request a Reset I requested a cancellation of the subscription to Arlo! The money keeps getting taken out. I did not agree to a reset! I am requesting a cancellation of my Arlo subscription. If Companies Like Arlo Are Hiring People Who Do Not Understand When A Customer Wants To Cancel Their Subscription, Then What Profits Are You Building Your Income Stream On? To Me It Seems, That Arlo Is Hiding The Easy Way To Cancel A Customers Subscription Because Arlo Makes Continuous Money From Unhappy customers Trying To Cancel Their Subscription. A Total Of $17.99 Every month Continues to be taken from my account. Arlo Staff, Ignoring Customers Request To Cancel A Subscription. Nov Of 2025 it is now April 2026 And Still The money Keeps coming out of my account!?The Subscription Cancellation Scam Absolutely A Rourt.

If this option is not working, you can choose “Try Another Verification Method” and select your email.

Extremely disappointing experience and some of the worst customer service I’ve encountered.
I first contacted Arlo on 03/03 after my garden camera stopped working. I spent an hour on the phone, and by the end of the call they confirmed they would send a replacement camera. I thought the issue was resolved — unfortunately, it wasn’t.
From 13/03 onwards, they repeatedly emailed me asking the same questions I had already answered over the phone. They then backtracked on their promise to replace the faulty camera and refused to take responsibility for the defective equipment. Instead, I was sent a stream of repetitive emails clearly designed to delay and avoid honouring their commitment.
If you enjoy circular conversations, broken promises, and the thrill of being asked the same question multiple times, Arlo is the company for you.
If you prefer working equipment and basic professionalism, you may want to explore other camera brands.
UPDATE: one day after posting my review they agreed to send me new camera.

Restored my faith in service, I had an issue and it was quickly resolved with replacement units.
Whilst the communication was good and always next day at the latest - some of it felt a little In personal and didn’t always answer the question as asked - just moving to to next stage of the process.
Overall Arlo retained me as a happy Customer
