Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Arlo two-way audio keep disconnecting?
Two-way audio disconnects are typically caused by weak WiFi signals, network timeouts, or app connectivity issues. The push-to-talk session has a built-in timeout to preserve bandwidth and prevent accidental activation.
How long can I use Arlo two-way audio before it disconnects?
Arlo two-way audio sessions typically timeout after 30-60 seconds of inactivity to conserve battery and bandwidth. You'll need to reactivate the feature by tapping the microphone button again.
Can I prevent Arlo two-way audio from disconnecting?
While you cannot disable the timeout feature, you can minimize disconnections by ensuring strong WiFi signal strength, keeping the app updated, and maintaining a stable internet connection on your mobile device.
Does two-way audio work the same on all Arlo cameras?
Most newer Arlo cameras support two-way audio, but older models may have limited functionality or shorter timeout periods. Check your specific camera model's specifications for two-way audio capabilities.
