Review on 📷 Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera - 1 Pack - Wireless Security, 2K Video & HDR, Color Night Vision, 2 Way Audio, Wire-Free, WiFi Direct Connection, No Hub Required, Black - VMC4050B by Bob Schultz

The low rating is due to a few simple facts that Arlo overlooked or intentionally overlooked. First, it's wireless, but the battery needs to be charged. The system does not come with a separate charger, just a charging cable. This means that to charge the battery, you have to bring the camera - the entire camera - back inside to connect to the charger. Or you can plug the camera in directly if you're lucky enough to be close to an outside power outlet. However, for this you need to buy a charging cable suitable for outdoor use. Also read other reviews. This method actually increases battery life and causes problems in the firmware. Secondly, if you want a spare battery, you can purchase an Arlo battery because the system and Arlo do not allow third party participation. As a result, third-party batteries and chargers will not work. 3. - Do you just want to charge the spare battery you just bought? Well, better buy an Arlo charger (which has been out of stock for a long time), otherwise you'll have to take the camera, bring it in, insert the battery you want to charge, and wait 1.5 hours for the battery to die. calculated. These are minor issues, but you paid $180 for this camera and its video performance and recording is just as good and clear as the Wyze cameras, which cost considerably less. (They have similar problems, battery problems, third party manufacturers, but they are many times cheaper than this camera.
