    I've been using arlo cameras for many years and this camera by far has the worst battery life. I also have the XL version of this camera which is placed in an area that has much higher traffic and the battery last for months. I have to charge this camera every few weeks.

    Bought this as a gift for our annual Christmas party. We shop at Best Buy EVERY year! You have the best deals!! One of our employees got cameras similar to these and he loves them. He wants this set for double security.
