Will arlo ever make use of live viewing on a tv screen

Brooklynzoo — Mon, 13 Apr 2020 00:10:43 GMT

I am switching over from a wired camera setup where I was able to view my areas in a screen at all times, I was wondering if arlo has that or will they have that at some point?

You could cast from a mobile device to a smart TV...

Thanks for the info , now if I was to cast it from a mobile device will that kill the battery faster keeping the cameras on live like that?

YES, unless the cameras are plugged into ac.

BTW, you can also send Live video to the TV via firestick( gen 2 or better ) with alexa

I’ll look into giving them power at all times because I like the fact of being able to see what’s going on live.. the delay on the camera worries me a bit

Like another poster said the fire stick works really well and no logging back in.

Yes believe I can achieve what I’m trying to by making sure they have consistent power and then logging into the Arlo website and just click play.
