Arlo Pro Battery Life

teresaang — Thu, 07 Dec 2017 05:25:28 GMT

I recently purchased the Arlo Pro, and having read and watched reviews, I thought the battery life would last longest more or less 6 months, and depending on the settings, could be 2-3 months. I'm just wondering if there's something wrong my battery? I've only been using it for 8 days, including today, and my battery says 1% left!

My settings are: Motion Sensitivity 30%, Recording 120 secs., On average I can see that it records 50-60 videos a day.

What do you guys think?

The estimated battery life expectation is based on 5 minutes a day of recording/streaming. Since you're doing around 2 hours a day, it's probably right. With that sort of use, I'm not even sure a solar panel would keep you charged and the only permanent power option right now is either only for indoor use or a 3rd party option outdoors, which may void your warranty. For high traffic areas, you really need permanent power or a different camera

I'm actually using it indoor, but good to know, thank you.
