Checking Battery Status

rdilauro — Fri, 04 Feb 2022 15:32:52 GMT

This is more of a design or feature request.
Is there a tool that can monitor just the status for over 10 ARLO batteries?

Right now I have to go to settings fior each camera to check. So it’s a manually process that depending on the weather ( all connected to solar chargers) I have to do frequently,.

I am hoping there is a better way or perhaps an ARLO user has written some tool for the App.

I’m assuming my situation with over 10 cameras and growing is not normal.

No tool available for users. You can use the web client and hover over the battery icon in the Devices card to see the percentage.

I thought so.

Perhaps this is something I can pass to Support for future considerations.

Its easy to do when you have one or two cameras. But when you have over 15, its just a bit cumbersome to check

each one.

Right now considering the weather and the solar chargers are not charging, I need to check almost every two hours.

I didnt check for about 8 hours and one of the camera batteries (Ultra) went below where I can do anything remotely.

Also, at the time, we had a different master ARLO account. I have changed that to a generic ARLO account for our club to use and now I am getting the alerts. So, I would have seen the alert that the battery was at 15%
