Arlo Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell battery drain

I have a new Arlo Essential Wire-Free Video Doorbell and the battery drains in less than a day.

It's not in a high traffic area and I believe it has a good connection to wifi. Is there any settings that I need to adjust or is it a faulty battery?

Try removing any activity zones, and then let us know about how many minutes of video recording you get on a charge.

I will try that once it is recharged again. Thank you.

My camera is now working well. I removed my doorbell from my SmartHub, did a reset using the button on the back, I reconnected it and now it works efficiently. It has only used 1% of the battery in 24hrs now so I am very happy!
