Arlo Essential Spotlight Camera Battery dying FIX!!!!! 

THANK YOU. I WAS DISSATISFIED UNTIL I WATCHED YOUR VIDEO…..NOW THEY WORK GREAT…

I like your disclaimer at the beginning and the the aspect of detecting vehicles in your kitchen is funny. Thanks for sharing the video.

I’m excited to try this. My front camera battery lasts a couple months, but the back one dies in a few days, must be because of the wind/bugs, etc. I really hope this works!

Nice video and very well explained; thank you. Do you know how to disable the spotlight on the wireless home essential spotlight cameras? I actually bought them for the interior of my home and the spotlight is annoying. 😅

I'm not so sure though. I'll re-check this theory out but as far as I understand things to work the Smart Notifications work and process on the SERVER side. That means, if your Arlo is triggered by wind or whatever, the camera is still "working" to collect and send the video feed to the Arlo servers. Or in other words, it's still going to burn batteries. The only thing that happens is that you get less notifications on your phone or less video recordings which give the illusion of the camera not doing anything and saving power, but not so. On the server side, that's where "vehicles" are separated from "animals", etc., and where a decision is made based on the user's settings to notify based upon what it thinks it sees (or not notify if that's what the setting is). To my understanding the only true thing you can do to reduce battery usage is to adjust sensitivity on the cameras themselves. But, I'll check this out.

Well if you have to turn off camera settings to maintain battery life...what good is it as a security camera?

I had the same exact problem with mine to !

Bro can you explain how Color works at night? Does the spotlight have to be on to get Color? Or do you have the option to run color without spotlight?

I don’t have that option for my cameras in setting on my iPhone 😩

How is your battery life now with the changes you made?

Hello maybe I missed it. Can you do a tutorial on charging the arlo ultra. Thanks

I just got it today and it’s a 5 minute delay

I'm thinking about getting the new ones coming out. But I'm wondering if they can be set to 5Ghz to keep frm hacked?

Notifications stopped on my iPhone with my Arlo Essential Spotlight camera after I updated my phone iOS to 15.3. It still adds video to the library, but what good is that if I’m not being sent notifications? 🤣

Do it’s have battery? And how do I replace battery?

Please buy one of these cameras if you want to waste $130. What I mean by that is they are junk. Constantly buffering. Video playback does not work. Batteries are non-replaceable and they last about a year then you need to throw it away. This company should be out of business

Yes! Helped me a lot. Thanks

I lost both keys where I can replace it

Thanks!

Thank you , that was very helpful

Can you change the battery

How to change battery

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Good 👍🏻

You talk to much get with the point

Don’t buy the Arlo camera it’s going to cost you over $10 to $15 dollars per camera per month it’s ridiculous I wouldn’t recommend it

I have the Arlo pro 4 an it dies fast as well which is weird because it says the on a full charge with decent settings the charge last up to 6 months. But out of the box the battery was about 50% an yet within about 6 to 7 hours it’s dead so do the math, if it last on full charge for up to six months but dies in 7 hours starting from 50% nawwww man Arlos numbers are WAAAYYYYYYY off.
