A:AnswerEach camera is powered by 4 CR123 batteries. Rechargeable CR123 batteries can be purchased online but are not included. They come with a set of disposable CR123s for each camera.
The Arlo Pro and Pro 2 cameras have a rechargeable battery pack instead of individual batteries.
A:AnswerThe answer totally depends on the amount of motion the camera sees. In a quiet environment, I saw nearly 2 months of battery life. In a high motion environment, I had to charge it about once / week. By motion, I mean a dog or a person alerting the camera to motion.
A:AnswerThe cameras must directly interact with the Base. The "Smart" features are actually in the Base. I am finding much greater distance than the quoted distance of the Ultra camera rom the Base. The base plugs into the router via Ethernet, so the Wireless Router distance to the camera does not matter.
Thank you!
A:AnswerThe Ultra includes an outstanding Li-iON Rechargeable Battery. No other rechargeable battery will fit inside this battery chamber! Use the included rechargeable battery only & you will love it!
Thank you!
A:AnswerYou can only use them in a vacant lot if they can reach the Hub that comes with them. The Hub connects to the internet via an Ethernet cable (included). So you would need the Hub plugged into the Internet to wirelessly reach the camera.
