Arlo pro drains through solar panel.
Battery life at the end of today is now at 58.
And don t let it drain your battery completely that may kill it for good.
This is a strange problem that netgear needs to fix.
So when you first get one of these don t assume the green symbol means all is well.
However 3 are high up painful to get down hence i bought 3 x arlo solar panels to plug into.
I will now unplug the solar panel to compare battery life loss.
The arlo pro and arlo pro 2 camera in contrast have been great.
Just to ensure i had set it up correctly after seeing issues.
If you see this icon in the arlo app while your arlo camera is connected to the arlo solar panel your camera is not registering the arlo solar panel as a compatible power source.
Connect the arlo solar panel to your arlo camera or light and never have to charge your battery again.
If you see this icon or if the solar panel does not charge your arlo camera battery follow the troubleshooting steps below.

Please note that water rain is not in the picture so water is not a factor and the results are not promising.
Can t believe all 3 solar panels i originally bought were defective.
Simply mount the panel outside your house and connect the weatherproof micro usb cable with your camera.
One panel to charge your arlo cams with our new solar panel for arlo pro and arlo pro 2 you can ensure that your outdoor camera never runs out of juice again.
