Frequently Asked Questions
•My Arlo cameras have new batteries, but notifications are still delayed. What should I do?
Check the battery voltage under load using a multimeter. Even new batteries can have manufacturing defects or be incompatible with the Arlo system. Also, verify the ambient temperature; extreme cold in Canada significantly impacts battery performance. Consider using extended-temperature lithium batteries.
•I have a Bell Giga Hub router. Are there any known issues with Arlo notifications?
Yes, the Bell Giga Hub's default firewall settings can sometimes block Arlo's communication with its cloud servers. Access the Giga Hub's advanced settings (usually via a web browser) and ensure ports 443 and 5228 are open for outbound traffic. Consult Bell's support documentation for specific guidance on firewall configuration.
•What is the best way to improve the Wi-Fi signal strength to my outdoor Arlo cameras?
Consider using a dedicated outdoor-rated Wi-Fi extender placed strategically between the Arlo base station and the cameras. Ensure the extender is compatible with your existing Wi-Fi router and supports the 2.4 GHz frequency band used by Arlo. Avoid placing the base station near sources of interference, such as microwave ovens or cordless phones.
