need help, i have multiple arlo pro cameras. have been very happy with them and the batter life but recently one unit drains batteries after 3/4 days instead of months. i did all the troubleshooting to no remedy. i even changed batteries with other units and it is staying with the camera. so at what point does it become a bad unit? i will say the ARLO support is very bad at best as trying online support/chat was a waste of time and no real response. just kept saying try this, try that. did it all. i think the camera is failing but why is it draining this fast?

Swap cameras around to see if it's the camera or location.

Mine does the same . I’m very frustrated ! I have followed all the troubleshooting. Change the cameras. Tweaked the settings. And it’s still drains after three days. I really don’t see the point in having it if that’s as long as it lasts. Wish I had a solution to this problem

Is it linked to a specific camera, or a specific location?

 

Is the camera going offline?

About how many minutes of video recordings are you getting per day? (Disable activity zones in order to estimate this).
