The need for cold weather cameras

mhnatt — Sun, 30 Aug 2015 06:32:20 GMT

I understand that Arlo cameras cannot be in outside temperature lower than single digits. Doesn't this limitation pretty well eliminate the market for just about most northern homes during a significant time of year?

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Maybe... but i believe it's more of a battery problem ( ie; chemistry slow down ) over physical camera problem.

Can say last winter one of my cams was outside to -10 and it worked fine tho battery didn't last as long.

Mine worked fine in low temps, too. Again, battery life was the biggest issue - I may use the non-rechargeables for the winter instead of rechargeables to try to overcome this as best as possible. Maybe one set of each in my two cameras to see how they compare...
