As far as I know the answer is yes, although you will need to replace them more often as rechargeables don't have as long a working life as non rechargeable. So, if the cameras are mounted where they are difficult to get to you might just want to stay with the original type batteries

Yes, the battery algorithm has been set for both OEM 3v cells and 3.7v li-ion rechargeables

The lower mahr rating of rechargables ( about 750 vs OEM 1500 ) mean they don't last as long in most conditions....

BUT, in heavy usage the rechargables will out record in time over OEM...while in low usage the OEM will last longer

BTW, 3 v OEM cells should read 3.2v when new
