What do my Arlo camera's battery level icons and notifications mean?
You will receive a low battery notification when Arlo camera battery charge drops to 15%.
Temperature variations can affect the accuracy of the displayed camera battery level in the Arlo Secure App. Battery levels are most accurate between 65-75°F (18-24°C).
Camera battery level is less accurate when frequently streaming the camera or operating it in cold or hot weather conditions. For more information, visit: How do I keep my Arlo batteries charged in cold weather?
To view your Arlo camera battery level:
- Launch the Arlo Secure App.
- Tap Devices.
The Arlo camera battery level displays on the bottom of the device card. Battery level is also displayed on the Device Settings screen.
Note: If your Arlo camera is offline, the battery icon is hidden.
The following table represents the remaining battery level based on the battery icon shown in the Arlo Secure App:
Battery Icon | Battery Level |
---|---|
76%-100% | |
51%-75% | |
26%-50% | |
1%-25% | |
0% |
Battery Icon | Meaning |
---|---|
Battery Full | |
Battery Charging | |
Battery Not Charging |
If the charging disabled icon is displayed, the battery is too hot or too cold to charge safely. Batteries cannot charge safely in temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or above 113°F (45°C). Arlo cameras can still function in temperatures below freezing, but charging is disabled for safety reasons. Bring your camera indoors and allow it to reach a safe temperature before attempting to charge again.
The charging disabled icon can also mean an incompatible charging cable is connected to your Arlo camera. You must use the power adapter and charging cable that came with your Arlo camera.
If an Arlo Solar Panel is used, the following icons display:
Solar Icon | Battery Icon | Meaning |
| Battery Fully Charged (It is possible that these icons will only display for a few minutes and then revert to gray) | |
| | Battery Charging |
| Battery Not Charging (If the battery is too cold or too hot, the battery will not charge) | |
No Icon | | Battery or Charger Status Unavailable |
