Has anyone researched a replacement lens for the Ultra camera?  I would like a lens with much less fish eye.  Closer to a 50mm lens in a DSLR.

It worked when I tried it, but that was a while back and I have since switched Pro 2 cameras back to the Pro 2 hub.

TimEllis2019,

 

Adjusting the field of view will help with this. Take a look at this article for more information: How do I adjust the field of view on my Arlo Ultra camera?

JamesC, 

Thanks for your reply.  I have the field of view set a narrow as possible and the resolution is not as good a my phone taking a 3k resolution picture with approximately the same field of view.  I suspect that the fish eye lense covers the entire sensor and reducing the field of view via S/W only cuts out the side of the sensor thus reducing the resolution.
