We're about to have an bad ice storm where I live. I expect power to go out, maybe for several days. I have a 5500w generator and I'm adding up the wattage of the stuff I need to run. My UPS will last about 4 hours then I'll have to plug the camera base into generator power.

 

Does anyone know how many watts the arlo pro base will draw?

 

Thanks.

12v dc at about 1.5a = 18w

For the record, I just used my Kill-A Watt to measure base power consumption the other day. A Pro base measured 0.1A, 4W as I recall.

OK, appreciate that info. I'll just figure 18w and if it's more like 4w than that is even better. I have to get one of those kill-a watt meters eventually. Thanks.
