Cam eats batteries

Hobbit5 — Mon, 19 Feb 2018 02:13:46 GMT

Hi I’ve had my camera for about a year. Suddenly it began eating its batteries. Three times in a row they were dead in a day or two. I live in Southern California where it doesn’t get very cold and it has the latest firmware. Any thoughts? Thank you!!

@Hobbit5

It could be that the bad camera is defective. Is the camera losing its connection? I would advise to take the camera inside in a room with decent lighting but little to no motion for a day or two and see if the problem improves or stays the same. It could be some new electronics gadget nearby interfering with the signal. Also try moving the base a little further away from the router if you haven't tried that already.

Hobbit5,

What kind of batteries are you using? Chargeable, rechargeable, what brand?
