The camera still has to stay connected to the servers so the battery will slowly drain. If it's draining faster than expected, consider the quality/strength of the cell connection which would make the camera work harder.

This camera has been mounted on the same place without any problem! All of a sudden it started draining batteries extremely fast. A battery will not last a week and I disarm it and turn off night vision during the day in case the IR lights are staying on.

Start by temporarily moving the camera where a known strong signal exists. If the same thing happens, use the Contact Support link at the bottom here for a possible hardware problem. You could also remove and set up the camera as new to see if that helps.

A solar panel may be useful, too.
