How Do I Reconnect My Arlo Cameras After Changing WiFi Router or Password?

Security Cameras • Arlo Camera System

After replacing your WiFi router, upgrading to mesh WiFi, or changing your WiFi password, all your Arlo cameras show offline. The reconnection process depends on whether your cameras connect directly to WiFi or through an Arlo SmartHub or base station. WiFi-direct cameras like the Arlo Pro 4 and Essential each need individual reconnection. Hub-based cameras only require reconnecting the hub since the cameras communicate with the hub via their own radio frequency not your WiFi. This distinction confuses many users leading to unnecessary work.

Why Does My Arlo Camera Keep Showing Offline?

Security Cameras • Arlo Security Camera

Your Arlo camera shows offline in the Arlo app — live view is unavailable, recordings have stopped, and motion alerts are not being sent. This is the most common Arlo support issue and affects all camera models: Arlo Pro 2, Pro 3, Pro 4, Pro 5S, Ultra, Ultra 2, Essential, Essential XL, Go 2, and Arlo Video Doorbell. Arlo cameras connect either through an Arlo SmartHub or Base Station (Pro 2, Pro 3, Ultra), or directly to your WiFi network (Essential, Pro 4, Pro 5S). The cause of an offline camera depends on which connection method your model uses. WiFi-direct cameras go offline from WiFi signal loss or router issues. Hub-connected cameras go offline from hub connectivity problems or from losing sync with the hub.

What Do Arlo Base Station LED Light Colors Mean and How Do I Fix Them?

Security Cameras • Arlo Base Station and SmartHub

Your Arlo base station or SmartHub LED is showing a color other than the normal solid green and you do not know what it means or how to fix it. The Arlo base station uses LED colors to communicate its operational status and any problems. A solid green LED means everything is working normally. Any other color or blinking pattern indicates a specific issue that needs attention. Understanding these LED codes is essential for diagnosing Arlo system problems without needing to check the app first.

How Do I Fix Arlo Camera Firmware Update Stuck or Failed?

Security Cameras • Arlo Camera

Your Arlo camera firmware update is stuck at a certain percentage, has been downloading for over an hour, or shows a Failed to Update error. Firmware updates are essential for security patches and new features, but they can fail due to weak WiFi between the camera and base station, low camera battery, server-side issues at Arlo, or the camera being too far from the SmartHub or router.

Why Does My Arlo Camera Keep Going Offline Every Night

Security Cameras • Arlo Security Camera

Your Arlo camera disconnects from the app every night and comes back online in the morning, missing all overnight motion events. If other Arlo cameras on the same network stay online, the problem is specific to this camera's signal path or your router's overnight behavior — not an Arlo outage. The most common causes are a router scheduled reboot, WiFi power-saving mode reducing signal overnight, or signal that is just strong enough during the day but drops below threshold when the environment cools.

Why Won't My Arlo Base Station Sync with My Cameras?

Smart Hubs • Arlo Base Station

Your Arlo SmartHub or Base Station is offline, or it is online but one or more cameras will not sync with it. The Arlo SmartHub (VMB4540) and older Base Station (VMB3000, VMB4000, VMB4500) connect to your router via ethernet and communicate with cameras over a proprietary wireless signal. When the hub goes offline, all cameras connected to it lose their connection simultaneously. When the hub is online but a specific camera will not sync, the issue is between the hub and that camera — either the wireless range, the sync pairing, or a firmware mismatch. This guide covers hub-specific issues — for WiFi-direct cameras that do not use a hub (Arlo Essential, Pro 4, Pro 5S), see our Arlo camera offline guide.

Why Is My Arlo Base Station Not Getting an IP Address on My Network?

Security Cameras • Arlo Base Station and SmartHub

Your Arlo base station or SmartHub is connected to the router via Ethernet but the internet LED will not turn green. The device is not receiving an IP address from your router DHCP server.

Your Arlo camera shows offline in the app even though your WiFi signal is strong at the camera location. You have confirmed the camera has battery, the hub or router is online, and other devices work fine on the same network — but the Arlo camera will not connect. When WiFi signal is not the issue, the problem is almost always at the network configuration level: your router is blocking the camera outbound traffic, DNS is failing to resolve Arlo cloud domains, the camera IP address has conflicted with another device, or a network security feature is quarantining the camera as a suspicious IoT device.

Does Arlo Support HomeKit Secure Video? How to Add Arlo to Apple Home

Security Cameras • Arlo Security Camera

You want to use your Arlo camera with Apple HomeKit Secure Video (HKSV) for local processing, iCloud storage, and Apple Home integration. Arlo added official HomeKit Secure Video support for select camera models through firmware updates. When configured, HomeKit Secure Video processes motion detection locally on your Apple Home Hub (Apple TV, HomePod, or iPad), stores recordings in iCloud (using your iCloud+ storage plan), and lets you view footage in the Apple Home app. However, enabling HKSV disables some Arlo-native features, and not all Arlo cameras support it.

How to Install Your Arlo Camera with a SmartHub or Base Station

Security Cameras • Arlo Pro 4/Pro 5S/Essential Spotlight Camera

You are setting up an Arlo camera that requires a SmartHub or Base Station — this includes the Arlo Pro 2, Pro 3, Ultra, and Ultra 2. These cameras do not connect to WiFi directly. Instead, they communicate with the Arlo SmartHub over a proprietary wireless signal, and the hub connects to your router via ethernet. Setup involves connecting the hub to your router, adding the hub to your Arlo account, and then syncing each camera to the hub. For WiFi-direct cameras like the Arlo Essential, Pro 4, or Pro 5S that do not need a hub, see our Arlo Essential setup guide.

Which Arlo Camera Subscription Plan Do I Need?

Security Cameras • Arlo Camera

You want to understand Arlo's subscription plans — what Arlo Secure and Secure Plus include, what works without a plan, and why some features stopped after a trial ended. Arlo cameras record to the cloud and run their AI detection (person, vehicle, package, animal) only with an active subscription, so a lapsed or missing plan is why recordings and smart alerts disappear while live view still works.
