Current Draw for Arlo camera

What is the current draw from the batteries for the Arlo camera for the following 2 modes:

Camera waiting for motion
camera activated by motion and actively recording and uploading to the cloud

this way I can determine the lifetime from different lithium batteries based on the manufacturers datasheets.

1) very low prob on order of 10 ma +

2) ( you don't say with IR illuminators on).. But around 150 + without to 250 max on

there' s plenty of info already , no need to vet the cams...read the rechargeable thread.

what are u looking for?

In the real world can say I've hit 8 months ( primary ) cells on very low use cam...just basically armed now and then

Hit just about 4 months on spec use cams with primary cells....

Rechargeables run about the same , for their true rated capacity ( as compared to primaries )

But your also forgetting the change in draw due to signal strength and other factors
