If your Arlo camera is offline, follow these steps to troubleshoot the issue:
- Set up your camera in the range of wifi sources –
One of the most common mistakes users make is setting up their camera off the wifi range. So, make sure that your camera remains connected to the wifi source.
- Ensure to have a good internet connection-
It would help if you had a good internet connection for the better performance of Arlo cameras. You can have a high-band internet connection with a good ISP router to avoid the “Arlo offline” issue. Otherwise, you can also choose to install Arlo SmartHub and the Arlo base station rather than an ISP router.
- Change the battery of your wire Arlo camera regularly after some time-
Don’t forget to change the battery of your Arlo camera regularly. As an extra measure, you should check the battery status of your camera with the Arlo Smart app. However, if the battery is low, a notice will appear on the app for that particular camera device.
- Be sure to plug in your Arlo wired camera into a power outlet-
If you’re using an Arlo wired camera, you have to make sure that the camera is getting the current correctly. New Arlo cameras always come with a power adapter and a USB cable. However, it would help if you avoided any third-party adapter and USB cable to use with the Arlo camera.
- Check for the camera temperature daily-
You can check for the camera temperature with the help of the Arlo Smart app. If the camera temperature is getting too hot or cold, a notification will appear on the device card in the Smart app. This temperature instability can cause the camera to shut down. So, you should check your camera once a week for some time to avoid this problem.
- Factory reset your camera-
This could be the last option if you have tried all of the above options and none of them have worked out. After the factory reset of your camera, it will come back to its default state. So you have to configure it again for the setup. You could either use the factory reset button on the camera or the Smart app to reset your camera. Once you have done the reset, you should remove the camera configurations from the Arlo Smart app and then set it up again. However, if you still can’t figure out why the “Arlo offline” issue continues to appear repeatedly, visit Arlo Support to seek help from experienced professionals.
