Firmware updates are released automatically to all connected Arlo devices.

• Automatic updates happen between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. local time to minimize camera downtime.
• You can wait until the update happens automatically, or you can update your firmware manually.
• During firmware updates, Arlo cameras will continue to detect motion and sound, and still record based on the currently selected mode.

Note: Arlo firmware updates happen automatically as long as the device is connected to an Arlo SmartHub or Base Station, or Wi-Fi network, and has at least 15% battery charge prior to updating. Do not turn off or disconnect your Arlo device while a firmware update is in progress.
