Arlo wire-free cameras allow you to choose power management settings to optimize battery life and video quality.

The following factors can reduce battery life:

• Frequent use of the camera’s floodlight or spotlight
• Note: For applicable models that have a built-in floodlight or spotlight feature.
• Extremely cold temperatures (below 32°F or 0°C)
• Low lighting
• Frequent motion detection or audio triggering
• Longer video recordings
• Weak connection to a SmartHub, Base Station, or router
• Low cellular signal strength (Arlo Go and Go 2 only)

To change your Power Management settings:

1. Launch the Arlo Secure App or log in to your Arlo account at my.arlo.com. 
2. Tap or click the Settings icon under the camera for which you want to change the power management settings. 
3. Tap or click Video Settings.
4. Tap or click Power Management. 
5. Select a power setting: 

• To extend your battery life, select Best Battery Life. This setting reduces video quality but improves battery life.
• For the best video quality, select Best Video. This setting reduces battery life but provides the best video quality.
• To balance battery life and video quality, select Optimized.
