Q: QuestionI want to switch to Electric How do I do that

Asked 2 years ago by Anonymous.

This question was asked about the related product: Arlo - Essential Spotlight 4-Camera Indoor/Outdoor Wireless 1080p Surveillance System - White

• A:Answer Your options are simple. Run a power source to the camera. Another option, if outdoors, is a solar panel that provides unlimited power to the camera. You may not like the aesthetics however. Just comes down to personal preference, but those are your choices. Since the batteries last for several months and charge in a few hours, the batteries work great for my 4 cams, but that’s just my 2 cents. Hope this helps.

Q: QuestionAm I able to have the cameras displayed live 247 on a iPad or a hub? Having an iPad on a stand with the cameras feeding to it? If that makes sense?

Asked 2 years ago by Mug.

• A:Answer I don't think you can with the essential. Arlo Ultra, Arlo Pro 2, Arlo Q, Arlo Q Plus, and Arlo Baby cameras are capable of recording non-stop to the cloud. To enable your cameras to record 24/7, you need to purchase a continuous video recording (CVR) plan for each Arlo Ultra, Arlo Pro 2, Arlo Arlo Q, Arlo Q Plus, or Arlo Baby camera.
