Alro Rechargeable Charger and Batteries

newn — Mon, 03 Oct 2016 03:31:21 GMT

Would apreciate any help,

It has come with my experience with one of my Arlo cameras that I need t replace this camera battery everytime it gets down to about 75%. (too muchlag time) I'm currently working with positioning so hopefully in time battery will last longer but I will still need batteries and think rechargables would be my best bet.I live in Western Canada, and have found a few place that sell diffrent models of battery and charger. Any recommendations as to a brand name of a recharger and rechargable batteries would help me immensely. Thank You

Lag below 75% battery shouldn't be an issue. I have the same lag regardless of battery state.

Check the Buying Options and Tips forum - lots of rechargeable battery info there. Some threads are huge but most of the latest useful info can be found in the last few pages of each thread.

Battery life should not impact lag... My one camera is 50%, but functions the same as it was at 100%....right now eagletec Rcr123a batteries and nitecore I4 or d4 charger are your best bet for the money..

Thank you for the information.

the lag is about 10 seconds before motion is sensed when an object is crossing the path and when it has done that time frame of recording it lags for 10-15 seconds again sometimes longer. would slow internet connection cause some of this also? anyone

newn,

A slow internet connection could cause the issue you are describing. Arlo requires at minimum 1mb upload speed.

Take a look at this article for tips to make sure you are getting the best performance from your Arlo Wire-Free cameras: Optimizing motion detection performance on Arlo Wire-Free cameras
