I have read many posts about cold weather failures. 

  Here is how I addressed the problem. First off remove batteries, and run on a/c magnetic cable. I was still getting offline failures. The final fix was simply  attach cameras to a digital timer that turns power off for a few minutes each day , forcing cameras to do a reboot. So far this has worked in weather well below zero

Are you doing this with the Pro 5s camera?  I am thinking you are using a different model camera.

There is another discussion thread, where two users say the Pro 5s will NOT run without the battery.

One more thing regarding my cold weather operation. I had purchased magnetic charging cables that were not Arlo brand..they did not work well. Spend the extra and buy the Arlo cables. 

And to reiterate pro5 s 2k work reliably without batteries installed. Thanks
