Arlo home security cameras are all about making things visible. This is done using through live-streaming and recording the activities that happen around your place. In the event of a theft or some other untoward incident, video evidence can help you identify the culprit and take necessary action. However, if the live stream from your Arlo camera shows a purple/ gray or a green screen, doing that would be a distant dream. If you are facing similar issues with live streaming using your Arlo camera, this blog will walk you through the steps to resolve it in no time.


Resolving poor WiFi connectivity issues in your Arlo camera


If you are facing connectivity issues while your WiFi network, here are some points to keep in mind:


  • If you are on a dual-band network, connect your smartphone to the 5GHz band while keeping the Arlo devices to the 2.4Ghz only.
  • You can further adjust your WiFi network to minimize WiFi congestion and interference issues. You can try changing the Channel Settings for your router. Sign in to the router setup wizard and follow the instructions in the user manual to make the changes.
  • If you have multiple 4K live streams set up, try closing a few of them. Handling multiple 4K streams, alert streams, and SD card recording simultaneously at lower network bandwidth can be strenuous.
  • Finally, you can try adjusting the video resolution of your Arlo camera. Doing so will allow you to choose the best resolution that works for your device. You can use the Arlo camera app or sign in to the Arlo setup page using the my.arlo.com web address. Once logged in, you can navigate to the Settings section and select the My Devices menu. Here, tap the camera model that you are using and wish to adjust the resolution for. Next, select the Video Settings and then go to the Power Management menu. On this page, you can select from Best Battery Life, Optimized, or Best Video to proceed. Using the Best Battery Life settings will help reduce the WiFi bandwidth that is required for streaming. The Best Video option will use more bandwidth on the network and the Optimized one will help you balance battery life and video quality simultaneously.
