I have 8 Arlo cameras, and 2 Arlo Pros

- no problem with the Pros

 

Of the 8 regular cameras, the batteries for 3 cameras are dead after 1 day

 

- 1 of the dead cameras is in front driveway, and included in selected mode

- there is another camera watching driveway from another angle that lasts ~2months

 

- 2 of the dead cameras are in the back patio/yard, and are not included in the selected mode

- there is another camera watching back patio/yard from another angle that also is not in selected mode, but at 50% after 2 months

 

Both the front cameras see a fair amount of activity, but only 1 dies in a day

 

The back cameras are seeing no activity as they are not included in selected mode, 2 dead in a day, other going strong

 

I have tried rechargeable Lions, non-rechargeable Lions, and regular batteries, on both good cameras and bad cameras

 

Anyone have an idea on why these 3, and especially the 2 not in an acitve mode, are dead in a day?

For starters, swap cameras around to see if the issue stays with the camera or the location. That will tell you if you have a hardware problem or a distance/blockage/interference issue between the base and camera.

Yep I  tried that - seems isolated to just those 3 cameras

If by that you mean the issue followed the cameras then I would open a case with support here for possible replacements.
