tonight weather around 28F (14 with windchill). it is the 1st time the arlo cams are under this temperature. 2 of the cams (they are all outside) give me this msg

 

Charging paused
Camera’s battery temperature is too low.
 
i googled a bit and saw this is just a warning but it was addressed by a fw update a while back. my arlo cams have fw "1.092.0.5_13833". 
 
so do i have a problem with my cams?

No there is no problem with the cams....

Tho the cams will operate to -4f, the li-ion battery can be damaged if charged below freezing. As a safety feature the cam will not allow the pack to charge until it gets above about 32f.

When it gets warmer, it will charge as normal.

 

ps wind chill doesn't matter to non living items
