Battery wearing down quickly

[JR1919]

I have an Arlo Pro4 camera. The battery is draining down very quickly. I have purchases a new battery and the life span is still about 8-10 days. The camera is located in an area that does not get set off very often in the day. Is there a reason that the battery life is so short.

The two factors that cause the most power drain are:

• a lot of video streaming from the camera
• a poor wifi signal, requiring the camera to repeatedly reconnect

If you use activity zones, then disable them for this camera.  Then look at the minutes of recording per day.
