Is Arlo Down?

Arlo is responding, but blocks automated checks

Arlo answers our probe but origin returns HTTP 403 bot challenge, so we cannot measure its availability. The response proves the site is serving traffic.

Measured from multiple regions every 6 hours. Percentages count only checks that returned an availability answer. A dash means we have no measurement for that window.

Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Arlo does

Arlo makes wireless security cameras and doorbells that upload clips to the cloud and alert a phone app when they detect motion. The cameras run on batteries at the edge of a home network, and the recording and alerting happen on Arlo's servers, so an outage means events pass unrecorded rather than merely unseen.

What an outage looks like

Motion notifications stop arriving, which is only discovered when checking the app later. Live streaming fails to connect or times out while the camera itself is powered and online. The event library shows a gap for the affected period rather than an error. Login fails, blocking the app entirely, and the Arlo store and community may be unreachable.

What to do about it

Check status.arlo.com, which reports Log In, Notifications, Library, Live Streaming and Video Recording as separate components alongside the Arlo store and community. Avoid removing and re-adding a camera during an incident, since re-enrolment depends on the login service. Treat the affected window as uncovered rather than assuming clips will appear later.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says Arlo is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from all 18 regions to find out where it breaks.

Arlo outage FAQ

Were events recorded while Arlo was down?

Video Recording and Library are separate components, and if recording was affected the clips were never created. There is no local storage on most Arlo cameras to recover from, so a gap in the library is a genuine gap in coverage rather than a display problem. Base stations with local storage are the exception.

Is Arlo down or is my camera battery flat?

A flat battery takes one camera offline while the rest keep working, and the app reports the battery level plainly. An outage affects every camera at once. Check status.arlo.com and compare devices. If only one camera is silent while others alert normally, the cause is that device rather than the service.

Why does Live Streaming fail when the app works?

Live Streaming is its own component and is much more demanding than loading the app, since it brokers a real-time connection from a battery-powered camera to your phone. The app can list devices and show past clips while streaming fails completely. Check that component rather than assuming your home Wi-Fi is at fault.

Should I reset a camera that shows offline?

Not during an incident. Removing a camera requires re-adding it, and enrolment depends on Arlo's login and account services, which may be exactly what is unavailable. That leaves you with a camera you cannot set up until the outage ends. Wait for the status page to clear, then troubleshoot the device.

Does an Arlo outage affect my subscription or stored clips?

Clips already uploaded are stored and return with the service, and an incident does not change your plan or its retention period. What it affects is reaching the library and recording anything new. Note that retention is counted from the recording date, so an old clip can expire while you are unable to download it.

How we measure this

We request Arlo's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — 8 of them answered the most recent check.
A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
Where Arlo publishes an official status feed we read it too, and let it override us in both directions.
