A: There are 2 power charging options: (1) Arlo Solar Panel Charger, (2) Outdoor Magnetic Charging Cable (25 ft). The solar panel has a built-in magnetic cable. The magnetic connection is on the bottom of each Ultra camera. Note: battery installation is still required but you won't need to remove them to for charging
A: So many good questions and here are your answers: 1. Yes and no with the HDMI connection. Not a direct HDMI connection to the monitor from the base station, but through your desktop or laptop via online account connection. 2. Each camera will need it's own power source as the Arlo branded solar panel or extended magnetized power cord only has one charging connector. 3. Battery life is dependent on activation usage. Mine varies from 3 to 6 months depending on how often the motion sensor is activated and records, whether I have it activate spot light and siren or talk through it. It is dependent on usage. Your usage amount might be different from mine to the next person. I have a condo in the city that I haven't been back for a few months due to the high infection rate. My batteries will last about 6 months with about once every two week motion activation as the doorman delivers my mail and packages to my front foyer 5 minutes activation and spot lights per occurrence. My housekeeper once every three weeks for an hour to dust and maintain place, Occasional checking the place and panning around once after my housekeeper leaves for about a minute or two. So, not a lot of daily usage for my batteries to last at least 6 months before another charge. Hope this help. My suggestion would be before considering solar panels or wired connections, try using the system for a month and see how much battery life you have from your app. from your usage.
Q: Is there a monthly fee for the system?
A: No. You do not have to have a monthly subscription. The system does come with a 3 month trial to Arlo Secure. Arlo Secure gets you 30 day storage up to 4k resolution and emergency response. If you don't have any subscription you are limited to a 7 day storage and I believe up to 2k resolution. I have attached a comparison of 3 Arlo plans.
Q: How far can the camera be from the base station and still transmit a clear signal?
A: You can place your Arlo camera a maximum of 300 feet (90 meters) from the SmartHub or base station. The maximum line-of-sight range of 300 feet is reduced by each wall, ceiling, or other major obstruction between the camera and base station. The following materials reduce signal strength the most: Large quantities of water, such as the water in a fish tank or water heater Metal Glass, especially mirrors Ceramic Stone Concrete Brick Unusually thick walls and ceilings
A: The operating temperatures for Arlo Ultra 2 are: -4°F to 140°F (-20°C to 60°C). The Arlo Ultra 2 cameras work in a wide variety of weather conditions, including sun, wind, rain, and snow.^KN
A: The Ultra 2 does need a smarthub or base station to operate. However, once paired to a base station all devices can be managed through the Arlo app.
Q: The Arlo Ultra 2 support 1 TB Sd card and loop recording? Thanks.
A: I had the same question and Arlo support states, the base station VMB5000 supports micro-SD cards up to 256GB
