Cameras have been charging fine until today. While trying to charge its draining what little the battery has left. Thoughts on what's the problem?   Tia

And this is happening with all your cameras?  Are you using just one charger?

I only have 2 cameras  and 1 charger and it is happening with both cameras

I suspect the charger and/or the cable, since that is more likely to be the problem than both cameras failing in the same way at the same time.   So I'd start with a risk-buy of a new charger.

 

Unfortunately, Arlo doesn't sell the indoor charger for the Pro / Pro 2, but you can get the outdoor charger or a stand-alone charging station:

There are some third-party chargers+cables, and stand-alone charging stations out there.  I haven't them, so this is not a recommendation - just an observation.  Some posters have found them to work well, others have not.
