  I woke up to this. My wifi is working fine. My subscription is paid up...

  It's been an hour since I noticed it. I gave it that much time before I logged back in to check, and the situation hasn't changed.

  I did look and check Arlo's info that said everything on their system is working fine.. so...

Well, I shut the router off and turned it back on... and all but 3 of them have came back to life. 

  We didn't have a power outage last night, I know for sure.. if it had, I would have had to restart my desktop.

  So, anyway, crisis averted. Just curious what could have caused the problem in the first place?

  On edit: I had all these cam's charged to 100% the other day.. Had a cold snap right afterwards. 

  Now that these have came alive, I see that all of them are down below 40% all of a sudden. Past experience has them lasting weeks before necessitating a recharge.  Don't know if the loss of comm. caused them to search for connection all night and use up battery, or what?
  This isn't our first cold snap... it was down in the 20's a week ago...only 35 last night.

It may have been an internet down issue... and tho your router came back, the cameras didn't for an unknown reason.

Those that didn't come back may require a re-syncing to bring them live.

 

As to the power loss, when the cameras lose connection, they try to re connect and use power doing so ( sort of like a cell phone draining as it tries to connect when no signal )
