Arlo Pro3 flood light camera

Mavrrick — Tue, 07 Jan 2020 17:09:57 GMT

I have seem some info about the Pro 3 flood light camera. This is great as it is one of the things I have been looking at adding new cameras for a while now. I see it is battery power, but i also saw reference to it being able to be powered by regular power as well.

Do we have any idea how that power connectivity will be setup. I would really like to replace my outdoor floodlights right now with this, but would hate for it to always be powered by battery. I would rather set it and forget it from a power perspective. There is also the fact that it is mentioned as being able to produce 3000lumens when powered instead of on battery which was limited to 2000

Unless Arlo has made an abrupt change, not beyond the bounds of possibility, these lights will use the same sort of USB adapter that powers and charges the existing lights and cameras.

But as @JamesC says, best wait for more details.

Heaven only knows when these things will appear. Remember, announcements made at last year's CES have yet to come about, others took months. For example, we have still not see the doorbell camera in Europe.

Lots of CES announcements (from various companies) never seem to make it to market.

Though Arlo did announce that it would be available this spring - close enough that I expect we will see it in the US next quarter. No idea on the lag for other geographies.

And some of them win awards before vanishing without trace.
