Yesterday got a message saying I needed to change batteries. I did this and had no issues. This morning I checked on the status of the new batteries and it said 89%. When I tried to activate the camera to "live" it said that camera "was not connected". At first I could not connect the camera it just kept "scrolling " and trying to connect. After about 5 minutes I logged out and then logged back in. Camera is now connected but batteries are only showing 23%, so in 5 minutes I have lost 63% of my batteries power. This cannot be right. Batteries are expensive Duracells . Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as up until no have had no issues and camera 1 is saying 61% still after 6 months.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks in advance.</P> Sun, 18 Dec 2016 07:49:10 GMT Dazzman64 2016-12-18T07:49:10Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Battery-Drain/m-p/1190590#M25613 <P>Hi,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>First post so be gentle lol.
