“Performance in very hot, desert weather I live in the desert of the SW, USA. During the summer it is 110+ degrees annually, with the highs being 120-122 degrees. The location on my house that I'd like to mount at least two of these cameras on would get direct sunlight for most/all of the day. My question is whether or not anyone has used these cameras in these conditions, and how did they perform? I see that their operating temperature is rated to 122 degrees. Also, how did the heat-based sensors work? Thanks!”

I have not tried them in that heat but they have survived very cold conditions completely covered with snow and kept on ticking during and after the snow melted away. I only wished they came with automatic lens wipers to clear the snow away when it sticks and covers the lens.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.not in direct sunlight
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would not recommend these cameras as Arlo's customer service is very bad. They promised to rectify an Issue I had and never did. I suggest you buy another camera that has audio capabilities as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would recommend checking the Arlo forums to see how other users have faired. Had a hot summer this year. Didn't have any problems. I think motion sensitivity setting, and distance from base station will play a bigger part in battery drain. My furthest cameras batteries died first. They have infared sensors, but also detect motion left to right, so positioning is crucial. Mines pick up moving tree branches, depending on sensitivity.
