Hi, I am wondering if I should be worried about the printed temp range for the Arlo Outdoor Power Adapter.  On the box and in the manual it clearly states 32-122 degrees F (0-50 degrees C).

 

I understand that the batteries cannot charge when the temp goes below freezing, but will the adapter power the cameras safely and effectively? 

 

I live where we see temps well below freezing - typically in the 20's during the winter months.  I expect the battery life wont be terrific and planed on using the power adapters in 2-3 outdoor cameras.

 

Please clarify.  Thank you!

Don't believe any damage will come to the adapter if left outside, but as you may/may not be aware, the camera will not charge below 32F( can cause battery pack damage ) and might display on screen something like " camera needs to warm up to charge "

 

So if it's cold, no need anyway to have plugged in. 

 

I would use in the warmer weather and maybe invest in a charge tube with a spare battery or two for swap outs

 

BTW cameras are good to about -4F  +/-  till they stop working
