To extend the battery life, follow these tips: • Check your camera's video quality and battery usage setting. To extend your battery life, select the Best Battery Life setting. This setting trades video quality for improved battery life. (See Verify that the Arlo SmartHub is online on page 73.) • Normal usage is defined as four minutes of viewing or recording per day with the camera in the Optimized setting. • Depending on your specific usage, you might see different results.
