Trying to help my neighbour out here: she has four Arlo cams and wants to be able to watch them on a screen on her wall. I fired the Arlo app up on a spare iPad and that works... but only for a short time, and then the live stream stops.

Is there any other way to do this? She currently has two ancient wireless analog cameras that show on two small screens in her kitchen, but they're slowly fading away (literally) and she wants to replace them with her Arlos.

Arlo does stop the livestreams after a timeout, and there is nothing you can do about that.

 

Of course if they are on battery power, it would be a bad idea to stream them continously, as that would quickly drain the batteries.

Agree streaming forever will drain batteries quickly, but at the end of the day, that should be the decision of the owner user.

 

I doubt ARLO is timing this out for the benefits of its users' battery life.  I see this a way to minimise its running cost associated with the stream via its cloud, though.
