Product Manuals
A: Yes, you can use both cameras, but you have to use the Arlo Ultra base station.
A: They were originally released on 1/13/19. I purchased them in store on that date. There have been software issues that Arlo is working hard to correct. They are progressing but perhaps they pulled the system until they're happier with the software.
Q: How far away can the cameras be from the base station and still function properly?
A: Arlo says 300ft but you have to know that thick walls, concrete, floors and metal decrease that distance. They do not tell you however that an exterior and 1 interior wall will significantly degrade the performance to max of about 45 feet (in my experience).
Q: how often do the batteries have to be charged?
A: Camera batteries last anywhere from 2 days for the Ultra cameras that have heave traffic and as long as 3 weeks for the Pro II cameras that have little traffic. Anyone that really wants true security will quickly realize they need to add an AC power cord to any important camera - especially if you want it to catch the first 3 seconds of any event..... FYI, a person can open a door and walk in and out of the camera view faster then a camera turns on and can record anything meaningful - so it's important to use the 3 second pre record that occurs with a camera that has continuous power.
A: Can't answer your question regarding comparison, but I had the same issue with the Ultra regarding shadows/tree and resolved it by lowering motion sensitivity to 65% and limit the motion detection area.
A: Yes, under the video settings on the app for the camera you want to adjust go to low light settings and you can turn off the spot light. It can be done individually for each camera.
A: Yes, I’ve had to return mine as not fit for purpose. I brought mine on 4/29/19. I’ve left a review on the BestBuys site explaining the negatives, rather than repeating here.
A: Yes, you can install the cameras and use the charger cord on them 24/7. The cords can be purchased online with an extended length.
