At what temp does the Arlo Pro camera, hard wired not work?

karambit — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 03:02:22 GMT

Apparently, it seems to stop at about 32 degrees.
Really?
Once it stops recording, I have to unplug the charger, replug, and so far it starts recording again.

At 32 degrees?
Is this real?

Time and again, this system seems to fail.

Next round .... real hard wired cameras.
The nonsense is building up.
Or is there fix of sorts?
The screen says: "The battery is too cold to charge".
???
But there is 100% charge in it ... not dead.

Any fix or its "Arlo simply does not work all year unless you live in the lower half of the USA ... and not on frost spells.

The Pro will not charge the battery below 32f... This is because it can damage the cell.

But the Pro will run to -4f if not plugged in all the time or if the battery is removed ( yes can run on ac adapter only)

The Pro was really meant to be run without the ac in cold...btw even if the battery says 100%, it is charging as it's really only at 80% which is about the max you can get in the camera.( to prevent cell overcharge if always left plugged in )

100% real charge only comes from the external charge tube

So removing the battery will at least let it run, but not have a battery backup?

Tested just now with battery ... it reacts to audio, not motion, interesting.
