Also wondering how well does Arlo hold up during extreme cold conditions (-30 to -40). I am aware battery needs to be replaced more frequently during the cold but any impact of the cold weather on performance (is the delay between motion detection and video recording longer during extreme cold weather)?

-19 without windchill here, and seemed to be working fine. Usual 15-25 second delays in getting video streaming from them, and no noticeable change in battery depletion.

I picked one up, expected to arrive between Jan 30- Feb 14th. I'm guessing I could have got this price directly from Gibbys, but free shipping and Amazon return policy made me go through them instead.

Can't find the Sony STRDN1080 anywhere, sold out online and in stores.
The web site did show stock in a couple of stores this morning, I managed to "Reserve and pick up", only to receive rejection emails a few hours later that reservation was not possible.
And the above deal is not in amazon anymore.

In the end, I ordered through Sony.ca (which redirects you to Gentec). $499, free shipping.

I tried that initially, and when I was redirected to Gentec, the price was $599. It was Boxing day and obviously there was no one to contact to see if this was an error so I went to Gibbys. I guess they got their issues sorted out.
