As a resident of Minnesota, is there any indication of how the new Arlo Pro camera will perform in very cold weather compared to the original Arlo.  Not an expert at reading battery stats and not sure if Netgear has done any real world testing in this regard.  A friend runs a number of the original cameras outside and they work but obviously go through batteries pretty quick.  Any chance the Pro will hold up a bit better in terms of cold weather battery performance?

Well according to the national weather service it didn't drop below 0 in December.  (I swore we had a couple of extra cold days...So much for my memory)

My mistake.  I was reading the base station operating temperature specs.

LOL yes - you should probably keep the base inside the house 🙂

Interestingly, I have several devices rated for a low operating temperature of 32°, inside my seasonal home which is unheated during the winter months.  They all do just fine inside at temperatures that get much lower than 32° during some weather events.
