78Arlo XL Rechargeable Battery
Pro 3 Floodlight Camera
User Manual
To optimize the lifespan of your battery:
• Select a location for your oodlight with a strong WiFi signal.
A strong WiFi signal typically requires less battery power than a weak WiFi signal. You can
check the strength of the WiFi signal from the Arlo app.
If you use an optional Arlo SmartHub or base station, we recommend placing your
oodlight up to 300 feet away. For information about your router’s WiFi range, check with
the router manufacturer or with your internet service provider (ISP) if they installed your
router.
• Your Arlo camera lets you choose the quality level of the video it records. Cameras set
to high-quality video recording use more battery power than cameras set to low-quality
video recording.
• Fine-tune the position of your oodlight.
Angle the oodlight so that it only detects motion in areas of interest. This helps reduce
unwanted recordings and light triggers from motion that occur in the background.
• Set a schedule for your oodlight.
If you don’t need your camera and oodlight to activate during all hours of the day, you
can set it to wake up and use battery power only during the hours when you need it. See
Schedule when your floodlight is armed on page 40.
• Adjust the Dusk to Dawn sensor setting.
This setting determines how bright or dark the outside environment must be for your light
to activate when motion or audio is detected. If you adjusted the Dusk to Dawn sensor
setting, you might benet from switching it back to the default setting. See Adjust your
floodlight’s dusk to dawn sensor on page 52.
• Reduce the brightness.
You can use the Arlo app to adjust the brightness setting on your Arlo Pro 3 Floodlight
camera. See Adjust the floodlight brightness on page 53.
• If your router allows it, increase the DHCP lease renewal time.
Most routers are DHCP servers that assign IP addresses to the devices on their networks.
The DHCP lease is the length of time the devices can reserve an IP address on the network.
For example, a router might use a DHCP lease renewal time of 24 hours (1440 minutes).
Increasing the DHCP lease renewal time might reduce the network traic. For more
information, see the instructions from your router’s manufacturer or your ISP if they
installed your router.
