Very short battery life

rw3025 — Tue, 27 Sep 2016 18:24:34 GMT

I have 4 cameras using the same panasonic batteries. 1 camera kills a set of batteries in 2 or 3 weeks. This camera is indoors in a climate controlled room & on standby by most of the time. No motion & very.linited live use. The other three cameras last for months with the same type of usage. ???

First is to swap the "bad" camera with one of the good ones... if the problem follows the camera to the new location ( and the good one works fine in the bad location ) then contact Netgear for a possible replacement

Thanks for the suggestion.

I swapped the cameras a few days ago, monitoring the battery life, We'll see what happens...

On 9/5 all 4 cameras were reading full battery life. On 9/6 the problem camera suddenly at 9% at it's new location. Looks like a bad camera, will contact netgear.
