Are you hooking the camera into your home wifi or using the phone as a hotspot ?

Yes through my home wi fi. I have tried adjusting the setting to bare minimum but no good. Plus you want to use the features the camera provides anyway.
I’ve sent an email to Arlo but no reply yet.

How long is the iPhone battery lasting?

When you look at the settings (general->battery), what percentage of the battery use is attributed to Arlo? On my iPhone 12 mini, it is generally around 10%.

From 100% to 20% in less than 3 hours.

I didn’t look at it. But it only drains when I’m using the cameras.
If you have any suggestions or solutions please share. It’s a real pain in the back side and Arlo are not responding to me. Very disappointing.
Thank you for engaging with me.

I suggest that you look at it. It will give you the power use of all your apps.

Ok I will look at it. It will only confirm it’s the cameras doing the draining. So do you have any suggestions how to fix this. That’s what I am after. A solution.
