Home internet went down for 5 days and in that time camera batteries went flat. They were on 90% charge previously.

Was your home wifi also down?
Or was the wifi working, but with no internet connection?

The reason I am asking is that the cameras do use a lot of power when they are trying to re-establish their wifi connection. I don't know how that compares to the case where the wifi is up, but the internet is down.

Thanks Stephen. I can't confirm either way unfortunately. Would be good if connection attempts were controlled a bit then. On the other hand what does happen if the wifi is up but internet is down.

The camera will try to connect to the Arlo Cloud - but I don't know how often. Impact on power might depend on whether the camera is connected through a smarthub, or not.
Not something I've tried to test, and my internet service is very reliable, so I haven't experienced this scenario.
