A:AnswerI am using my Netgear R7000 and it works just fine. These Arlo camera's do not handle 5.0ghz, only 2.4ghz. You probably already know that but I have been having trouble using my own at times. Turns out that I had my VPN running when I could not connect with my cam's outside of my home. Ironic since in order to use the Arlo router, they require a VPN. Insensible to say the least.
I would recommend you stick with a brand name router and while I prefer Netgear, some of my friends use other brands and even they have their share of glitches. Nothing is perfect but the Geek squad can help you pick a router that is compatible and assist in setting it up.
I have had times when my camera display a symbol with no label and they stop working. It took me awhile to figure out that was due to a required update and each camera did the update at it's own pace. I hope this helps.
A:AnswerNew batteries can last about 15 days with regular use. I don't know about batteries after their first charge because all of mine now keep dying even the brand new set I just bought.
A:AnswerI was told by installer that they last up to 3 months. I purchased the solar panels that attach to these cameras so that I never have to worry about the battery's! Well worth it! I don't have to go up on the ladder, etc to charge/change batteries.
Thank you.
A:AnswerYes, the Arlo Pro 4 Cameras are weather resistant and can be used indoors and outdoors. These devices work in a wide variety of weather conditions, including sun, wind, rain, and snow.
A:AnswerI purchased a single camera and a pack of 3, all are Pro 4's. They all work the same and there is one preset created by the manufacture. While I can manually set areas to detect, it will still record everything that it detects within it view. You can adjust the field of view to reduce and improve detection at 110*, 125* and 180*. I use 110* and have less alerts. Check out the numerous Youtube videos featuring Arlo for more pointers. I have found the informational. I hope this helps.
