I live in Viking Alberta Canada.My arlo pro will not work when it is -16 or colder.is there some thing wrong with my cameras or is this the way they work?

I read that the arlo will work up to -40 i guess that not true.

I have two arlo pro cameras and a base station

when its not cold outside these arlo work great

thanks mark

The -40C is for the original wireless cameras.  The Pros are stated to work down to -4F/-20C which has been empirically shown to be true.

Think you going to be out of luck....

Specs say bottom temp is -4 ( not -40 )

 

My tests ( in the freezer ) show that the camera does in fact shut down at aprox -4F +/-.... it will say it must warm up to function.  Temp rises, cam works again

 

BTW, the original arlo cams that used 4 - 123 cells I've tested to -15 and they stil functioned .  Issue here is at about -20F the battery chemistry starts to fall off and the voltage will sag

Some of the confusion is due to C vs. F. Please be sure to specify the proper system when reporting temps.
