https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-4/Battery-wearing-down-quickly/m-p/2430255#M15272 <P>I have an Arlo Pro4 camera. The battery is draining down very quickly. I have purchases a new battery and the life span is still about 8-10 days. The camera is located in an area that does not get set off very often in the day. Is there a reason that the battery life is so short. &nbsp;</P> Fri, 06 Dec 2024 23:37:05 GMT JR1919 2024-12-06T23:37:05Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-4/Battery-wearing-down-quickly/m-p/2430255#M15272 <P>I have an Arlo Pro4 camera.
