1 of the cam battery dropped from 95% to 63% when it was armed for 3 hours in day time. Temperature was 16F but with windchill it was close to 0F. Cam has solar charging but the cam has not been charged for a few days due to cold temperature day/night time. But 30% in 3 hours and no recording? Is this typical? 1st winter for my arlo cams.

Cold weather definitely affects battery level indicators. See what it says when it warms up
