What is Arlo?
Is Arlo down? Arlo is a home security and smart camera company founded in 2014 as a Netgear subsidiary before becoming independent in 2018. Arlo makes wireless security cameras, video doorbells, floodlights, and home security systems that stream video to cloud storage and provide real-time motion alerts. Arlo's cameras require cloud connectivity for remote viewing, push notifications, cloud recording, and smart detection features powered by Arlo's AI systems.
Arlo cameras store recordings in the Arlo cloud (for paid Arlo Secure subscribers) and send motion alert notifications through Arlo's servers. When Arlo's cloud infrastructure experiences issues, users may lose the ability to view live camera feeds remotely, receive no motion alerts when activity is detected, or find that recorded video events are not accessible in the app. For users relying on Arlo as their primary home security monitoring solution, these failures have direct safety implications.
Arlo is down or not working — users commonly report live view failing to load in the Arlo app, motion alert notifications not sending despite detected activity, recorded clips not appearing in the Arlo Library, the Arlo app requiring repeated logins, or smart detection (person, vehicle, animal recognition) not functioning. Smart home integrations via Alexa, Google Home, or Apple HomeKit may also be disrupted during Arlo server incidents.
If Arlo is down, Outage.gg tracks Arlo server status and outage history in real time. If your Arlo cameras are offline or live view is not working, check the live status page for current incident information and subscribe for an alert when cloud connectivity is restored.
