I having trouble with 2 of 3 cameras are using a lot of power. I have just (1½ week ago) installed 3 Arlo cameras. 2 of the cameras are already at only 21% battery power, while the last camera is on 76%.

Two of the cameras are placed at the same corner of the house (directed different ways). The strange thing is that one camera is at 76% and the other at 21% power, The last camera that is at 21% i placed about 15 meter from the two other cameras, but only 2 meters from the base station.

 

So why is two of the cameras using that much power? They are used in equal amounts. They are all in armed mode all the time. So there shouldn't be any difference.

 

Hope someone can help me out.

How many minutes of recording and live view do each of the cameras experience each day? Spec life if 4-5 minutes total per day on a stage.

The connection between the base and cameras matters, too. Signal strength, distance, walls, etc. in between as well as 2.4GHz. interference all work against the cameras and their battery usage.
