A:AnswerJust go into your settings, and you will see a switch to turn camera OFF/ON. Just switch the camera OFF when you're not using it, and ON when you're sleeping or not home. The batteries will last a really long time if you do that.
A:AnswerArlo Pro 2's have issues with any external power source. I have read aweful reviews about their solar panel charging. At that time I waas running my 4 camera system off their internal batteries. The problem is not [really] with the solar panels but with any extrenal power source even these Arlo Pro 2 OEM/Factory-recommended power supplies. The the supplies are attached the cameras will become every erratic and will go off line with the middle of recording an event. So you may see a person walking and then he/she just disappears as in some sci-fi movie. The system continues to record; however, and the file size actually increases to 1.5 times the normal size for a fixed 100 sec. max recording. Arlo's technical support is outsourced and depending on the time of day you call you may speak with a well-meaning person; however, they really do not understand English. Those techs that do speak English well, only provide the usual generic answers., like "Reboot hub", "check you internet provider" , replace out [extremely expensive] arlo batteries, re-sync, etc. When I found the issue - and explain what it is , they refused to log it and sais they would call me back with a solution, that never happened. Spent close to $1000 for 4 cameras and am very disappointed, they will not honor the warrentee, the units are only 3 weeks old. RUN AWAY FROM ARLO AND NETGEAR (their parent company).
A:AnswerYes, the battery has to be inside the camera in order for it to turn on. You could also have it hard wired in at all times as well if you'd like, but the batteries do hold a charge for a very long time.
A:AnswerYou can set it up at home 2. Use the Arlo app to add it while connected to the same network you want to add it to, it will find it and configure fine
A:AnswerIt is a self contained battery pack remains in the camera when charging with cable supplied. Although I believe a separate dual charger of batteries by themselves is avaliable.
