I have tried all sorts of batteries and they all die within a couple of days. Can someone point me in the right direction of when is the best and last longer?? I'm really getting tired of messing with this system and thinking about getting another one just because batteries! Thank s in advance Bridget

Spec battery life is for usage of <5 minutes per day total recording and live viewing. WHat are you using? Bring a camera close to the base and see if the batteries last more appropriately. Signal strength and quality affects battery life which can be caused by 2.4GHz wireless signals near the base and/or cameras as well as house construction (stucco is a major offender).
