- Number of IR LEDs: 12 (Quantity of infrared (IR) LED lights for emitting IR light and allowing the camera to detect objects in low light.)
- Camera Iris: Fixed (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.)

- Owner's manual
A: I have 6 cameras. I bought them more than 1 month ago. All the batteries are still working. Some have faced intensive use (20 to 200+ videos a day) and are down to 1 battery bar, whilst others are still at 4 bars. For example, the one above my front door records only 4 to 16 videos daily of 30 secs each. It is still showing 4 bars. The one facing the garden is picking up the wind, clouds, sun, blowing grass, birds, and cats all day long. It has only 1 bar left. My advice is as follows: Lower the sensitivity from 100% to 70%. This means moths, birds and falling leaves are less likely to trigger a recording. Reduce the recording time to between 10 and 30 seconds. Turn on geo localisation so it does not record when you are present. Point the camera at places where movement would be unusual or infrequent. Don't point it at a busy high street, or it will record everything running down the batteries quickly and using up your Arlo data allowance. For that kind of use you would need the Arlo wired camera and a paid Arlo data plan. The ideal use of these cameras is to pick up special or unusual movements, so they are perfect to monitor the inside of your home when you are on holiday, but if you want to monitor a place with lots of movement, I recommend getting the wired version.
A: If it is mounted outside and you are using the magnetic mount, then YES it can be stolen. You will have to place it up high or purchase a different type of mount for it that screws into the camera, then you attached it with screws to a wall or something.
Q: Can you turn off the cameras
A: Yes, you can set them up on a schedule to only record at certain times. Essentially, the part you are scheduling is the motion detection. They're always on (but in power saving mode). The cameras aren't technically on unless you're actively looking at them through the app. When motion detection is on, it will be looking to trigger the camera to turn on. That's how he batteries last so long.
Q: Has anyone used the cloud storage to review stored video? Is there a fee?
A: I use cloud storage to review recordings, and 2 GB of data is free. Anymore, and you will pay for the cloud storage. I can typically record 5-6 days with cloud storage. I have a 1TB hard drive and I just download video that I want to keep on to that device. You can also save to a thumb drive or any other external storage device. The system will also send an email notification when your cloud storage is almost full.
Q: Does this system require a wi-fi system?
A: Yes it runs off of your home network (WiFi) but you can view the cams using your smart phone and you do not need to be on WiFi
Q: Are the Batteries a Standard Size/Type, or Proprietary? Rechargeable?
A: Cr123a batteries are closer to $2 per battery (not $5-7) and even cheaper in bulk
A: It's really going to be dependent on how you set up the "rules" for your camera. For instance, I have my motion sensors on and the sensitivity set to 100%, so anytime something goes by it records; 24x7. I also have the duration set to 1 min; it can record up to 2 mins. With those two combinations, I probably get 100+ notifications a day. My batteries last about a month. Hope this helps.
Q: Can camera be mounted behind glass to monitor outdoor activity?
A: I bought this for a similar reason. I have only had it for 2 days, but I am having no luck with having motion detected through glass. I have walked back and forth over a large range, waved, etc and no motion is detected. I followed the instructions, but no luck. Of note, I get a perfect picture all the way across the street (200ft), if just viewing. I can see cars and people clearly. Problem is It just isn't detecting motion and recording even at 5-6 ft away (through glass anyway).
