I have a camera that keeps using batteries far more than others, through 2 sets now whilst others are still on the originals. What baffles me is that I’ve got a battery drain message for this camera when it’s disabled/off and has been for more than 24 hrs. How do batteries drain if the Camera is off ?

IanStarr,

It could be an issue with the camera or it's location. An easy test would be to swap the location of the camera draining batteries with one of the cameras that's behaving as expected and see if the issue follows the camera or the location.

This has just happened again but on another camera that is dis-armed so it would appear to suggest it’s nothing to do with the location unless I have 2 faulty cameras. I ask again, why do batteries drain when the camera is dis-armed ?
