Batteries almost dead after a couple of weeks.

Why would my batteries in a 3 week old camera (bottom view) that rarely records die so quickly? They were installed the same time as the top camera.

Try opening and closing the battery door. Sometimes that resets the display. Also, make sure that when you put batteries in don't push them down because they can get stuck down and not make contact. Let the battery door push them down. You may need new batteries anyways so check this out.

Also, a poor connection between the base and camera can be the issue. That can be a weak signal or interference from other 2.4GHz devices. Swap cameras around temporarily to see if the issue is with the camera or the location.
