How long was the camera off?

Do the batteries charge ok when this happens?

If you turn off the cameras in the app, there still is some power use (otherwise you wouldn't be able to turn them on again).

This will esp happen if the base is off.... the camera keeps looking for the base connection and drains the battery down

actually this is what is going on. I went on vacation , all 5 cameras stopped working at the same time. when I returned I restarted/reset base station , then discovered all cameras needed batteries. a week ago I put new batteries in 3 cameras, had 1 turned on 2 power off after 4 days all cameras needed new batteries????

When the base is off-line, the cameras will go through batteries quite quickly.  They keep searching for the base, which takes quite a bit of power.
