Are the Batteries Still Draining Fast?

Good morning everyone. As this has been going on for the past couple of months after the last update. As there been any other fix? My arlo Pro 2 (Base model VBM4000) still using crazy amount of batteries. I have 5 cameras and my last charged was on 8/22/18. As of today, every battery is dead. Settings are still the same (medium settings for all cameras). My base has the latest update Firmware 1.10.0.8_22190. And yet some how my batteries cant last longer than a month. Is there a fix to this? I bought my system back in February of this year and it was doing well then. Now, well this is how long I am getting.

Now, outside cameras all get the same amount of activities, minimun. And the inside never run when I am home. So, the fact that they batteries are draining so much, is do to something else I think.

Any help, would be appreciated.

Thanks Rick

I had the same issue. Some cameras drained quickly and others took forever. I chalked it up to location in that the cameras that drained quickly were the ones in high traffic areas. I finally invested in the Arlo Solar Panel and could not be happier. I have 5 cameras all with solar panels. Highly recommended. I know this is not much help but it worked for me.
