Diagnosis

Insufficient cellular bandwidth. Live streaming video, especially in higher quality, requires a stable, high-speed 4G LTE connection.

How to Fix It

Reduce the data demand for live view.

  1. In the Arlo app, go to the camera's Settings > Video Settings and set 'Live View Video Quality' to 'Standard' or 'Low'.
  2. Ensure no other devices on your cellular plan are consuming heavy data concurrently.
  3. Try live view during off-peak hours (e.g., not 5-7 PM) when network congestion may be lower.

If That Didn't Work

Your specific location might be on a congested cell tower band. Check your signal strength in the device settings; if it's strong but speed is poor, there's little you can do beyond relocation.

Heads Up

Streaming live view over cellular will consume your monthly Arlo data plan allocation very quickly; it's primarily intended for triggered event clips.
