Any signs of connection problems (livestreaming fails, corrupted recordings)?
Do you use activity zones?
How much video streaming activity (rough minutes per day for each camera)?

Look at the library or recordings. Do you need them all? Are they longer than you need to see what is going on? Do they happen at times when you don't need them?

Battery life depends on what you have asked the camera to do. If you don't want to put them on mains (permanent) powder, you can tweak the settings in modes, rules and schedules to reduce each camera's activity and narrow recordings down to events that you really do want to capture.
