Open the housing of one of the cameras, and remove the battery. There's a label inside that will tell you the camera model.

No, there are not rechargable.

Tenergy does make some rechargable batteries for the camera which are worth considering.

Arlo did a fair amount of testing before they settled on Tenergy some years ago. But it's been quite a while. So you can certainly try other brands.
