Have you tired multiple cameras? Is the charger the one marked as from Netgear or Arlo and has both 5v and 9v outputs? Have you opened a case with support:

I attempted all 4 cameras l, even tried swapping the batteries to different cameras to see if it was a camera malfuntion.

The charger can be replaced by opening a case with support:

You can also try a charger from a recent phone that support Qualcomm Quick Charge, such as Samsung. It will have both 5v and 9v outputs.

Tried a phone charger - same problem

Bought new arlo charger from best buy- same issue (returned charger)

Ended up removing all my cameras, doing factory reset, and setting up my entire system again.
