If the Arlo camera is flashing in an orange hue, it likely means the device is malfunctioning and nearing the end of its battery life. Charge the device and make sure it’s connected to the WiFi on the base station. Let’s take a closer look at what the indicator light implies before moving on to remedies. You may apply from the comfort of your own home.

The orange LED on the Arlo camera blinking continuously usually indicates a low battery or a general hardware issue. If the battery doesn’t cause the issue, your Arlo camera is probably broken.

Because low battery issues affect only wireless Arlo systems, wired entrance cameras should not blink in orange if their cords are in good working order.

Arlo Camera may blink orange for the following causes:

  • Battery Status is low: If the batteries in the Ario camera are getting low, you should consider plugging it into a charger.
  • Not synchronized: Users must try to connect the devices if the orange light indicates that Arlo has dropped synchronization with the base station.
  • Damage to the hardware: Your Arlo may have been fatally injured; thus, consult a technician for a possible checkup and repair. For the time being, we’ll disregard the likelihood of a hardware problem and focus on the situations in that you can then assist.
  • Batteries that have been depleted: The indicator light on the device may blink due to a general issue with the batteries.
