Why cant Arlo improve the battery life to compare with Blink XT which quotes 2 years? The size of the Arlo Pro battery is much larger than the Blink XT which should allow it to last longer as both cameras do very similar things, essentially PIR triggered video recording and transmission. In addition the Blink XT camera has 1080 resolution.

No IR illumination in Blink...just a low light camera....so power draw is lower

The original Blink had an LED for night illumination, but the new Blink XT has IR illumination and they still get up to 2 years.
