I have purchased an arlo go to use in a remote location. I find that the camera is constantly going offline assumably because it losses cell signal.  My phone may have 2 dots at the same location.   With no way to reset the cam from my phone it becomes useless. The camera needs an external antenna connection or some type of battery powered cell booster.  Also  I find that the battery does not last nearly as log as advertized. The speed of posting to the cloud (a few seconds)  when the camera is functional is great .

Battery life for any Arlo camera depends on the signal strength and quality. Low signal that the camera has to struggle with will deplete the battery quickly.

What service do you have for your phone? What service has better reception in your area? Maybe the AT&The version is the issue where the newly released Verizon version would be better.
