Spec life is for &lt;5 minutes of recording and live view per day. New users can spend well over that time getting used to the system and setting it up. Also, the signal quality between the camera and base can be an issue due to distance, house construction, blockage and interference.&nbsp; Lots of things to consider along with rechargeable batteries.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Give us full details about useage and setup.</P> Fri, 18 Jan 2019 18:41:14 GMT jguerdat 2019-01-18T18:41:14Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo/Dead-Battery-In-New-Camera/m-p/1671188#M62953 <P>Just started new wireless ARLO yesterday for the first time.
