When plugged in and used indoors you unlock your security camera s advanced features like optional 24 7 recording and customizable activity zones.
Arlo pro 2 activity zone solar panel.
When indoors you can use arlo pro 2 either wire free or plugged in.
There is a subtle difference.
I don t see any reason to buy the new arlo pro 2 vs the older pro if someone is using wireless since we can t use the wire only features.
Since i installed this system 3 weeks ago.
Activity zone notifications outside the zone.
Solar panels charge the batteries they do not power the camera.
Arlo pro activity zone notifications outside the zone.
Is there any reason to buy the pro 2 if using wireless.
Have deleted and resaved zones as well.
I need to test my panel with arlo pro 1.
If your using the camera outside with the solar charger is this concidered plugged in and will you be.
Itodos solar panel compatible with arlo pro 2 11 8ft outdoor power charging cable and adjustable mount not for arlo ultra and arlo pro3 silver 3 8 out of 5 stars 116.
It would be a huge incentive to purchase the solar panel if we could use the new wired features of the pro 2 while plugged into the solar panel.
I don t see any reason to buy the new arlo pro 2 vs the older pro if someone is using wireless since we can t use the wire only features.
Have 3 pro 2 cameras.
It would be a huge incentive to purchase the solar panel if we could use the new wired features of the pro 2 while plugged into the solar panel.
Pro 3 pro 2 pro wire free.
Here is my theory.
Two are ac powered and one is by battery charged via the arlo solar panel.
Arlo pro 2 gives you the option to use it wire free or plugged in thanks to its rechargeable battery.
As others have stated here have the same issue for the ac powered cameras the activity zones do not work.
The announcement page lists.
To create an activity zone you need the following.
A compatible arlo camera ultra 2 ultra.
I tried on arlo pro 2 and the battery drains very fast.
Use arlo pro 2 as a wire free camera outdoors.
Q plus pro 2 x2 pro 3 x3 pro 3 floodlight security light x2 ultra x2 doorbell chime.
I am getting triggers for movement outside of the zones.
Check in from anywhere to see if the kids are home from school or to keep them safely in sight while they re out playing in the pool.
Go q q plus baby.
My activity zone is less than half of the field of view of this camera and still the vast majority of the alerts i get are things.
It knows it is being charged and therefore will sip extra juice.
Need a fix netgear.
Or the solar panel would fix the battery drain.
The engineers didn t really get the threshold if at all a sto whether the charging is sufficient to overcome the additional power on or activity zone modes.
I purchased this system arlo pro 2 because it got pretty great reviews on best buy but i am thinking now that those reviews were not real.
