Arlo battery-powered cameras are not intended for continuous recording. The batteries in your Arlo Pro camera last for about four to six months with normal usage, which is about five minutes of recordings a day.
Use these tips to maximize your camera's battery life:
- Only use the rechargeable batteries that were supplied inside you package or replacement batteries from Arlo.
- Ensure that your Arlo system is running the latest firmware.
