I have an Arlo Pro base station running firmware 1.20.4.0_4208_38740e8 and 6 Arlo Pro cameras (5 inside and 1 outside) running firmware 1.092.1.0_9_120d8b7. When I'm logged in to my.arlo.com under "About" it says I am running Version 4.0.3_2 released December 14th 2022. I had my outdoor camera go completely dead about 4 days ago and was trying to remember if I had just charged it recently (was 95% sure I had just charged it about 2 weeks prior) and thought it was strange it would have drained so quickly, so I fully charged one of my indoor cameras and changed it out with the outdoor camera in order to see if that battery just went kaput. Now 4 days later, that camera is at 43% charge remaining. I am hoping since the version I am running now was just released, they have already been made aware of this issue and pushed this release out to fix the battery consumption issue. The 5 indoor cameras are in a heated building, have 3/4 or 4/4 bars for wifi signal, and rarely record activity. These usually last about 7 months on a charge and seem to be holding their charges approximately normally. The outdoor camera is subject to freezing temperatures, generally has a wifi signal of about 2/4, and records activity about twice/week on average for about 10-15 seconds each time. Under these exact same conditions, the outdoor camera used to last anywhere from 3-4 months. Now it appears I'm going to be lucky if I get 3-4 weeks out of it. I see this has been an issue in past years with different firmware updates; has anyone have this issue pop up recently (in the past month or so)? And does anyone know when the last update prior to Dec. 14th happened? Thanks!

I'm running 4.0.1 (5272), released Nov 30, 2022. All mine are outdoor, but two are especially busy - the others are mostly inactive. I've noticed recently that the two active ones will barely last a week or so now, when they used to last three plus weeks. Arlo secure will also frequently tell me that they are offline. Let everything sit for a few minutes and they're back when I check again. No solutions here, but it is very irritating as these are the two hardest ones to get to as well. Hope there is a fix coming soon.
