Connection lost when streaming a camera for 20+ minutes

I just bought and set up several Arlo Pro cameras throughout my home. One is in the baby's room. We use it like a baby monitor. What we have found is that the camera or our mobile phones lose the connection to the cameras after about 20 minutes or 30 minutes of streaming. I checked the camera set up and brought the base closer to the cameras. We still experiencing this issue. Anyone else experience this? How do we fix it?

ARLO/ARLO Pro cameras are not designed for continual streaming and have an automatic timeout to preserve battery life. This is by design. I notice the same behavior weather it's plugged in or not, I'm not sure if this behavior will be changed. If you're intent is to have a full time live camera,you may want to consider an Arlo Q. Arlo/Arlo PRO cameras are security cameras, not surveillance. This means that while they will activate on motion, send alerts, and such they aren't designed to be live streamed at all times.
