topic Can I leave the live feed open on my desktop all day with my Arlo outdoor camera? in Arlo https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Can-I-leave-the-live-feed-open-on-my-desktop-all-day-with-my/m-p/1108955#M9105 <P>Is it possible to leave the live feed on all the time? does this drain battery life? I use an old tablet with a stand and the log in the app select live and it seems to stay on all the time but will it eventually shut down and does this effect the batteries?</P> Tue, 27 Sep 2016 22:38:56 GMT JW99 2016-09-27T22:38:56Z Can I leave the live feed open on my desktop all day with my Arlo outdoor camera? https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Can-I-leave-the-live-feed-open-on-my-desktop-all-day-with-my/m-p/1108955#M9105 <P>Is it possible to leave the live feed on all the time? does this drain battery life?
