New Arlo Pro2 battery runs out of battery very fast when placed inside a room, any ideas?

[arielshiran]

Hello,

I purchased 4 Arlo Pro 2 cameras and currently have one installed running on batteries.

For testing the different features, UI and so on, I placed it in a room where there is kids movement in the afternoon time.

The battery was fully charged (went out of the box) and in about 5 days I am already in 75% of battery capacity.

This means it will last for a very short time and much shorter than all publications around lasting for months.

Any ideas? Does it make sense?

I haven't opened and installed the other cameras yet, but this is quite disappointing... I already purchased a lot of accessories for these cameras...

The batteries have a finite life... it's record time vs lenght of use.

The first thing I always asked is ; what is you total record time on the batteries?

In spec useage the batteries are rated for less than 5 min per day and will then last at least two-three months in my testing

If using indoors , then there is no reason not to leave plugged in ( will not hurt battery ) and then battery life is mute
