I set up my new Arlo system and in less than 1 week I had batteries completely die in 1 camera.  The others are reading between 64-74%.  There are 2 cameras in my livingroom and each will pick up just about everything the other does.  One camera has dead batteries, the other is still at 74%.  I have checked the dead batteries and they really are dead.  Is this a battery problem or a camera problem?

The only way to be sure is 1) replace the battereis with new, 2) swap the 'bad' camera with one working properly

 

If the problem follows the camera after new battereis, then it's prob the camera.

 

PS... to be honest tho, that seems ( the other cameras ) excessive battery drain after two weeks...that they should be down 30% in two weeks, unless you have a heavy usage or bad signal to the cameras.  Mine run almost 4 months on normal usage ( btw, spec use is =<5 mins /day )
