What can I do ? One of my camera’s keeps loosing battery power, even though I have a Solar Panel attached to keep recharge ?

There have been issues of a faulty panel draining the battery so try unplugging the panel from the camera to see if that helps. If not, it can be a signal strength/quality issue with the connection and/or too much recording and live viewing draining the battery. The solar panel is only a trickle charger so excessive (>5 minutes total) recording and viewing can easily cause this. If you are using activity zones, delete them since a recording still has to be made for the servers which may discard the video.

I'm having the very same issue. This camera gets more sun than the rest but even on low power mode it drains extremely fast.
