Just bought a new 4 camera ARLO system yesterday...Everything worked very well for less than 6 houres. I don't know what happended over night but 2 of the cameras do not operate in the morning. This system operates with non rechargable batteries. One of the 2 working camera has 9 % power left in less than 8 hours.

Very dissapointed. Any help on this ?

First, try power cycling the base and open and close the battery doors on the cameras.  Also, make sure that you have the latest firmware (1.8.1.1_10234 for the base, 1.2.9901 for the cameras).  What are the percentages in Settings, My Devices for the WiFi on your cameras?  A camera with too great a distance, too much stuff in the signal path (walls, wiring, ductwork, etc.) or 2.4GHz wireless interference can all cause the battery to drain rapidly.  Of course, it could also be bad hardware.
