What is the battery life for NETGEAR Arlo Wire-Free cameras?
The NETGEAR Arlo Wire-Free camera battery life lasts 4 to 6 months with normal
usage and can be extended for optimal usage if you use key settings and follow
certain tips. They offer the best battery life when set up to record when they
detect motion.
How can I extend the NETGEAR Arlo Wire-Free camera's battery life?
To extend your NETGEAR Arlo Wire-Free camera's battery life, follow these tips:
Be sure that you are running the latest version of firmware on your Arlo base
station. For more information about updating your firmware, visit
need to know about Arlo camera firmware updates?
Check your NETGEAR Arlo Wire-Free camera's Power Management settings.
To extend your battery life, select the Best Battery Life setting. This setting
trades video quality for improved battery life. For best video quality, select
the Best Video setting. This setting reduces battery life but provides the
highest quality images. To balance the battery life and video quality, select the
Optimized setting. To access your Power Management settings, log in to your
Arlo account, select Settings > Camera Settings, and select a camera.
Normal usage is defined as four minutes of viewing or recording per day with
the Arlo Wire-Free camera in the Optimized setting.
Depending on your specific usage, you might see different results. Also note
that a NETGEAR Arlo Wire-Free camera's distance from the base station can
affect its battery life.
