The skins will not help if it gets cold.
The Pro cameras have cold isuues under certain conditions;
1) at the low end of the operating spec ( -4F, IIRR ) the camera will shut down saying it is cold and needs to warm up
2) the battery if running solar panel WILL NOT charge below 32F as it can cause damage to the battery pack
( also if brought in, it must warm up before it will charge on ac adapter )

Yesterday in Brantford Ont. the temperature dropped to -18 C /-3 F My Arlo Pro 2 outdoor cam was giving me messages that the battery pack was too cold to permit charging from the a/c adapter the battery was down to 84%. I took an old heating pad and wrapped it around the camera and tied same in place with a bungee cord (see attached) a very rudimentary fix. I keep the heating pad set on low but it provided enough heat to warm the battery pack to hold a full charge. Obviously I'll have to take this camera heat source a step further in order to make something weatherproof. However for the time being the cvr feature appears to be working with the exception of a couple of hiccups this am when the cam went into dormant state.

Arlo Pro 2 cold temperature use is something that Wesserstein should be getting their heads around like something in the way of an addon rechargeable heat source. Weve got rechargeble socks , boot insoles , mitts, knee wraps and supports. How about it Wessertsein pick up the challenge.

Further to my last It is -22 Celcius this am here in Brantford Ont. My Arlo Pro 2 is a little reluctant to give me CVR however the motion trigger is working well . I have fashioned a cover made from Dollarama knee pads wrapped tightly around the rear portion of the camera. Held in place by velcro straps. At this time there is no external heat source. The battery indicates a full charge. See attached.

-23 deg.celcius or -9.4 deg Fahrenheit here in Brantford Ont. Arlo Pro2 outdoor cam got a bit sluggish .I took a small night light with a 7 watt bulb and attached same to the rear bottom of the cam just under the battery pack with duct tape then rewrapped it with my foam knee pad stuff. The bulb generates just enough heat to keep the battery pack above freezing hopefully this will prolong battery life . So far the battery is holding at 100% charge. It's not exactly pretty but it works. The attached video is of a rather shadowy figure walking along the rear path of my condo. I've labled him the "Boot Bandit" he broke into one of our buildings and stole 4 pairs of mens and ladies winter boots. Now could someone please advise me in laymans terms how to program my cams so that they will activate motion at specific times of the day?
