Arlo Pro 3 - batteries lasting 2-3 days before recharge

[EW2017]

I just set up An Arlo Pro 3 system. I have cameras in the living room and in my sons bedroom (we have nursing care, he has special needs).

The batteries are only lasting 2-3 days before I need to recharge. What I can do to have them last longer?

Thank you.

The battery life depends on the amount of activity.  Your cameras are both in busy areas, so there likely isn't much you can do to reduce it. Upgrading to XL batteries would help some (giving you perhaps a week between charges).  But I think the best option is to connect the cameras to AC power via the charger.

IMO, the Essential Indoor camera might have been a better choice for your use case.  The Indoor also needs to be connected to power.
