Constantly detecting motion and draining battery

sisterpurl — Thu, 29 Dec 2016 18:23:15 GMT

Just purchased the Arlo Pro wireless camera system due to many of our vehicles being hit on the street and the perpetrator taking off. It is set to motion detection only. We are constantly recharging the batteries. Every day the battery dies in all 4 cameras. This is more pain than it is worth! It is constantly picking up motion due to the passing cars but we cannot keep up with all this charging. Very disappointed.

All batteries have a finite life.... and the Arlos and Arlo Pro are spec'ed at 5 mins per day of usage to achieve the expected battery life.

Since all 4 cameras you say are going offline as the batteries fail each day, then it is obvious not the camera suited for your needs.

Do you have windows that face the area you want to cover? If so, then the Q camera that is AC powered AND uses pixel based motion detection ( will work thru glass ) is prob the camera you need.... Also you can add as an option 24/7 recording via the CVR option if really needed.
