-20F temperature camera records

jklitzke — Tue, 04 Feb 2025 15:08:51 GMT

I live in the Dakotas. I use my Arlo cameras all times of the year. We get temps below zero, much below zero. I am looking for Arlo to have a camera option that will record video down to -20F. I use Arlo cameras wirelessly so even if batteries won't CHARGE at this temperature, it would be fine. Arlo - What you got for a solution or something coming in the near future?

A couple of things:

1) The indoor cameras are powered and also detect motion through glass so you could potentially place them indoors, looking through a window to get coverage.

2) While I don't have personal experience with the cameras in that temp, others have reported that using the outdoor chargers has worked. Testing would be needed.

@jklitzke: I believe people using them below the -4F spec removed the batteries as well as using a charger.

I suspect this might work with some camera models, but not all.
