So many good questions and here are your answers: 1. Yes and no with the HDMI connection. Not a direct HDMI connection to the monitor from the base station, but through your desktop or laptop via online account connection. 2. Each camera will need it's own power source as the Arlo branded solar panel or extended magnetized power cord only has one charging connector. 3. Battery life is dependent on activation usage. Mine varies from 3 to 6 months depending on how often the motion sensor is activated and records, whether I have it activate spot light and siren or talk through it. It is dependent on usage. Your usage amount might be different from mine to the next person. I have a condo in the city that I haven't been back for a few months due to the high infection rate. My batteries will last about 6 months with about once every two week motion activation as the doorman delivers my mail and packages to my front foyer 5 minutes activation and spot lights per occurrence. My housekeeper once every three weeks for an hour to dust and maintain place, Occasional checking the place and panning around once after my housekeeper leaves for about a minute or two. So, not a lot of daily usage for my batteries to last at least 6 months before another charge. Hope this help. My suggestion would be before considering solar panels or wired connections, try using the system for a month and see how much battery life you have from your app. from your usage.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The smart hub does not have a video out connection. I have a google nest hub max and samsung tv that are all linked with my arlo and can view them from there besides my phone. But you can only view 1 camera at a time. Multiple viewing is only available on the phone app.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The base station has no HDMI port. You can view the cameras by logging into your Arlo account in the Arlo app or through a web browser. To charge the cameras with Arlo Solar Panel, you would need one solar panel for each camera. Without using solar panel, the battery life of the camera approximately lasts 3-6 months with average use. ^RM
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Arlo Ultra (and Ultra 2) base station does not have a HDMI port it has just one port (ethernet). The connection of the solar panel cable to the Arlo Ultra/Ultra 2 camera is a magnetic connection. You would need one solar panel for each Arlo Ultra/Ultra 2. I have not tested the battery life.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
