I Have a 4camera ArloPro2 system. 

1 cameras is connected to an Arlo USB  charger and another to the NETGEAR/ARLO solar charger. The others are on battery only. 

Why are the two batteries on “mains” power still running lOwer and lower? It may be happening slowly however they are eventually going to runout !

 I am NOT recording traffic moving 24x7? 

Thanks.

With the second camera, the solar panel was behind a glass and there wasn;t enough sunlight  to activate the charging. I have moved the solar panel into more direct sunlight (but still behind glass) and it is now charging.

Panic over. User error!

That should not be happening. Does the charge indicator (lightning bolt) symbol appear to confirm that these two cameras are in fact charging?

The camera using mains was connected to an extension lead and the plug had come out of the socket! Easy fix!

the other camera requires a ladder so I will let you know tomorrow. 

One done... one to go.

Thanks.

Well done. Always keep an eye on the charging indicator and You'll be good.
