Arlo Pro - Battery Drain Difference - Indoor Use vs Outdoor Cold Weather Use

marlan — Tue, 20 Dec 2016 16:32:49 GMT

I just purchased a 4 camera package of the Arlo Pro.

Camera one, placed outdoors yesterday with outside temperature of 21 degrees, went from 100% fully charge battery life to 95% in just 22 hours. Total amount of recording was just 3 clips of 10 seconds each. At this rate, the battery will only last 20 days.

Camera two, placed outdoors yesterday with outside temperature of 21 degrees, went from 100% fully charge battery life to 97% in just 16 hours. Total amount of recording was just 4 clips of 10 seconds each.

Cameras three and four, placed indoors, still shows 100% battery life after a few days of use, after 25 clips of 10 seconds each were made.

It seems the Arlo Pro cameras, when used outdoors in temperatures of 20 degrees, will only see battery life of around 20 days if only 30 seconds of video are captured each day.

Is that what other folks are seeing?

Thanks.

One camera outdoor (37 to 60 degree) for 5 days, down to 93%. It has about 70 to 100 video of 20 to 30 seconds on best video quality.

The PRO seems to drop a few points or so quickly but then usage slows down.

My PRO ran over a month ( 40 days ) before hitting 55% or so, have no doubt it will run the normal 60+ days ( like the 16340/123 li-ion cells we were using in the Arlos )

* recharged it only due to running a freezer test for a few hours

After allowing an additional 48 hours to pass, outside camera one is staying unchanged at 95% and outside camera two is staying unchanged at 97%.

You were right TomMac. The outdoor mounted cameras had apparently just an initial quick battery level drop before the battery levels slowed down. Thank you.

Yes, exactly what I am seeing. 4 weeks and need to recharge.
