unfortunately I have to disagree. The battery life on arlo pro 2 is considerably worse than the arlo pro 1. I have 3 arlo pro 2s. coming from 3 arlo pro 1s. My arlo pro 1's would last around 5 months no problem. I havent been able to get 1 full month on the arlo pro 2's. Every camera, not just 1, it may be due to the bug it has where motion would last 10 seconds but the video will record for 5 minutes. Or maybe the bugged out night vision has something to do with it. But i have not seen good battery life from the arlo pro 2 at all.

MrTonyToca,

 

How often do you see recordings that should be 10 seconds but last 5 minutes? This would definitely impact the battery life if you're seeing a lot of this. Do you experience this on all of your Pro 2 cameras or is it specific cameras?

Whilst the 'offline' bug has been resolved, I entirely agree on battery life front. The Arlo 2 is nowhere near as good as the Arlo 1. A month at best. The Arlo 1 used to last 4 months minimum.

 

I expect this will be resolved in new firmware.
