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).
