Hello.
What do you recommend to avoid Arlo system being "killed" by:
-Power shutdown
-Internet Shutdown
I was disappointed that a battery was not included in the base station in case of power shutdown and that there is no possibility to install a data Sim card for internet in case of cabled LAN goes down.
Any suggestion for a solution?

As do many on this site ( esp if the base is remotely located ), the easy answer is to use a UPS...
I run one on my base , router and modem... it will keep them up for a good number of hours to solve most power outages
But more important is keeping the base up if you running a USB speed stick for backup memory.

Ok and thanks for the info. Which model do you use? I think I will buy something like that as well:
power to keep both base and router powered.

Buy a brand named model... base it on how long you may need it to run.
Obv, bigger is more $

FWIW, I use a 750VA UPS (~$100) and I believe Tom uses a 1000VA model. Either will last hours with Tom's running longer.
