My is my battery life only 1 week? It is supposed to have a 6 mo battery life.

It is supposed to have a 6 mo life between charges (which is probably not realistic) but I would like to have to only charge once per month if possible.

Arlo Essential Camera and Essential Spotlight Camera have a 6 month battery life based on usage of 4000 seconds per month, 30 seconds per stream, and day/night events split 2:1. This will vary with device settings, use, and environmental factors.

Arlo Essential XL Spotlight Camera has a 1 year battery life under the same conditions listed above.
