I have 3 essential spotlight cameras and a wireless doorbell. They worked great for about a month but I have been charging them at least once a week since. My doorbell is fine. Any hints or are the cameras defective????

About how many minutes of recording are you seeing per day?

If you are using activity zones, you will need to disable them in order to estimate this.

I am running activity zones but only have my cameras active at night. I would estimate 3-4 minutes of recording a night. The last week I haven't activated them at all and the batteries are still going low

Try removing the zones to see how many minutes the camera is actually recording. Zones are detected by the servers so the cameras always record but videos are deleted if outside the zone.
