Arlo essential wireless security camera

Hi team, can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Purchased 2x arlo essential wireless cameras but the batteries are dying so fast! One was fully charged this morning and 7hrs later its down to 70% battery life. I thought they were meant to last weeks if not longer? Please help!

Battery life depends in large part on how much video the camera is sending - so it likely is detecting too much motion.

Is it aimed at a high-traffic area, or perhaps at something that is always moving (tree branches for example)?
