We have fairly new Arlo Essential Spotlight cameras and they are not holding a charge.  Having to charge almost daily.

Could be due to poor signal strength and/or quality as well as too many recordings. Spec battery life is for >5 minutes total per day of recording and live viewing. If using activity zones, disable them so you get a true count of recording time (the servers decide whether to discard videos that are out of zone).

 

Bring the camera closer to your router to see if that makes a difference.
