I’m looking to buy an Arlo system, but it says the cameras have trouble below zero temps. Where I live we get 20 below quite a bit in the winter. Anyone experience these problems and are some models better than others? I know what the specs say but none of the specs say they’re good down to 20 below

The original wirefree cameras continue to work at well below 0F although battery life will suffer due to the cold. The newer Pro and Ultra cameras use li-ion batteries which shouldn't be charged below 32F (a battery issue, not Arlo). The cameras will work to -4F or so. Plugging them into AC power may help due to the heating caused by the camera always being awake.
