Oh right. Just check which section you're posting in for the next time you post.

Not sure about your current batteries but I highly recommend you consider the Tenergy rechargeable batteries. You'll save a ton in the long run

The Tenergy propel cr123 lithium batteries are your problem - they're only 3v.  You need the lithium-ion batteries of 3.7v.  Arlo has certified a set of those for use in the original wireless cameras - check the product accessories here or https://www.amazon.com/Combo-Batteries-Wire-Free-Security-Certified/dp/B01N0DVFA7/ref=sr_1_4?s=elect...

Jeff... those are primary cells, non rechargeable and just like the OEM cells,.... they should work fine. ( not 3v rechargeables )

(The Tenergy Propel CR123A 3V non-rechargeable lithium battery is one of the most popular CR123A lithium batteries on the market.)

As to why they don't last long, it could be bad cells, weak signal, bad camera.... Are the cameras  all doing the same thing ?

Oops. I'da sworn they were rechargeables.
