I have 2 Arlo pro 2 cameras. Set up about a month ago. I’ve never had to recharge my backyard camera. My front yard we have to recharge every 2 days. So we swapped the batteries to see if it was a bad battery. We still have to charge every 2 days so we are thinking it’s the camera. We have the same amount of recordings on both camera (3 or 4 video in 24 hours) anything I can try?

Swap the cameras, and see if the problem moves or not.

This will help to rule out "wifi strain", when the camera struggles to maintain a connection to the hub. If that happens, it uses more battery juice.
