Hi Guys Got 2 Arlo Pro cameras. 13 months old. Within 20 ft of hub
All working fine until now
Charge Batteries to 100%
Within an hour they are down to less than 10%
First 12 months they were lasting for 3 to 4 months in full operation and fine
Now i am just pissed as they are virtually useless.
Suggestions please

Thanks Badge

Temporarily move the cameras to other locations closer to the base (or move the base closer to the cameras). It may be worth removing and resyncing the cameras.

I have done that 3 times but to no avail. Should the batteries last more than 1 year? @jguerdat

Generally, yes. YMMV depending on usage, number times charged, phase of the moon, etc. 

 

Exactly what have you done 3 times? The moving or the resyncing?

Hi @jguerdat I Moved the cameras. Even when they are 3 ft away from the hub they still drain in an hour. They have only ever been recharged 3 times in the year

You're giving out details in dribs and drabs. Exactly what have you tried - all of it? You've moved the cameras but you still haven't told us anything else. Have you tried resyncing the cameras? Tell us EVERYTHING, please.
