Are you suddenly having a lot more motion activations each day? Or have longer recording? I definitely haven't seen a battery life drop but if you are, perhaps it's battery related? What batteries are you buying? Could they be fakes?</P> <P>The only other possibility that crosses my mind is a firmware update doing something, but really, battery life is mostly based on recording time and the number of times a day you open your app and the cameras are all polled</P> Fri, 03 Nov 2017 08:24:16 GMT steve_t 2017-11-03T08:24:16Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Battery-life/m-p/1413939#M43857 Why in the last 2-4 months has the battery life in Arlo cams gotten so bad. It makes them unusable. I used to recommend these cameras, now I am going to cancel my premium subscription and dump the cameras. This stinks because at one point they worked much better.
