The Arlo Essential Spotlight camera comes with a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The expected battery life for the Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera is 3-6 months with average use. You can use a VMA3600 Solar Panel (sold separately) to connect your Essential wire-free camera to continuous power. The solar panel uses direct sunlight to keep your battery charged. The solar panel is weather resistant, comes with an 8-foot power cable, and an adjustable mount. For tips on optimizing your camera's battery life, check out: https://kb.arlo.com/291
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would assume your reason or the workers reason for running to the doorbell is constant power. One way to check if it is in fact hard wired go to the app and look at the battery symbol. If wired should show in icon and in setting for device. One last way to be sure is watch the battery symbol and see if it's losing juice.
