- Camera Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to capture video/images. The higher the resolution the finer the detail that can be seen.)
- Field Of View: 130 degrees (The area of a target, measured as an angle from the location of viewing, that can be observed.)
- Night Vision: true
- Night Vision Distance: 25 feet
- Number Of Cameras Included: 6
- Day/Night Mode: true (Captures images/video with optimal clarity by automatically adjusting settings to various light levels.)
- Camera Infrared Distance: 25 feet (The distance over which the camera's infrared, or night vision, capabilities can detect objects.)
- Camera Iris: Automatic (The iris is the opening on a camera that controls how much light reaches its image sensor, which in turn affects image/video clarity. Fixed and manual irises are generally suited for locations with consistent levels of light. Automatic and "P" (precise) irises automatically adjust in response to changing levels of light and are suited for a wider variety of environments. "P" irises feature additional capabilities for improving footage clarity.)
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Infrared Cut Off Filter: true (Often referred to as an IR or heat-absorbing filter, this camera feature is designed to block infrared light during the day to produce optimally lit images, while still allowing for night vision capabilities in low light.)

Product Manuals
Q: How long does a fully charged battery last recording?
A: if you want it to record 24/7 it won't last more than a few days at best... you'd want to plug it into a power supply for that and it could go indefinitely i believe. The batteries work best as a triggered system that records only when motion is detected and shutting down after the event has passed... and probably best in an area that isn't supposed to be getting much traffic.
A: Yes, the camera is cordless/wireless. It has rechargeable batteries and you can choose to have it plugged in or not, but you will want to use this system wireless. That is one of the advantages of this system. And there are options to add additional services, but the system does not require any paid subscriptions or any monthly payments to provide a great security system.
A: This Arlo camera has come is SO handy for keeping an eye on my dogs while I’m out! I just went to my Library on the Arlo App from my iPhone and was able to easily download something that was recorded yesterday. It automatically saved to my iPhone Photos (even though it is the full video clip). The Arlo App automatically saves the past 7 days on a rotating basis, so if you want to download something to save permanently, just be sure to do it before the 7th day. You can pay for extended days, but if you can save it yourself, why pay that monthly fee, right? :) I don’t have an Alexa or Apple TV, etc.
A: You must connect the Arlo camera base station to your local network router via Ethernet.. The Arlo cameras communicate to their associated base station wirelessly. How far you can get from the base depends on many factors including where the base station is in the house (the base station is not for use outdoors).. You may want to start with one camera with one base setup, do a test, and then return if it does not meet your needs. You will also get a better idea of if the camera’s field of vision and motion detection range meet your needs. Note also the further the camera is away from the base may adversely impact camera battery life due to diminished signal between the base and camera. As a side note the Arlo lights are different. The Arlo light base station is connected wirelessly to your home’s network and communicates to the individual lights via bluetooth. Arlo lights can trigger Arlo cameras and the reverse, but that is handled within settings you make in the Arlo network via the app. I have multiple generations of the Arlo cameras/base stations with many cameras. I also have the lights. If you have the right expectations and benefit from the total wire free aspects of the cameras and the lights they are great products, BUT you should not be comparing them to a professionally installed high resolution security camera system that has panning and zoom, continuous recording, etc. As long as your expectations match the real features of the Arlo products AND you don’t mind “ladder work” when it is time to change the batteries (unless you add the solar panels) you will find they are useful and in many ways remarkable for what they are able to do.
Q: How far can WiFi router reach ?
A: This really depends on your home wifi router. This hub is piggy backing off of that connection so if you cant get internet out side where your mounting this than the camera is going to struggle to keep a solid connection. Router speeds need to be around 8-10mb/s to load and stream
Q: So it is only on when it detects motion?
A: NO. You can log in to the app from your phone or computer to view live what's going on in front of them.
A: You can have continuous recording enabled by subscribing to Continuous Video Recording (CVR): https://kb.arlo.com/1018425.
A: It can handle 5 cameras for free and if you want to add more you have to pay a monthly fee.
