Camera battery drains in a day

My system is four months old yet one camera drains the battery in one day. Awful system and support is awful. Don't buy.

Gee, maybe you have bad hardware that can be exchanged at the store or via an RMA by opening a case here. I don't get why folks just throw their hands up in the air when there are already solutions.

Nodatestamp,

Try swapping the locations of the one camera that is behaving this way with one of your other cameras. This will isolate the issue to the camera or the location. It could be a problem with the cameras location (poor signal strength) that is causing the issue.

I had a similar issue. My camera was mounted on an aluminum clad fascia board. I moved the camera off the metal and haven't had an issue since.
