Why in the last 2-4 months has the battery life in Arlo cams gotten so bad. It makes them unusable. I used to recommend these cameras, now I am going to cancel my premium subscription and dump the cameras. This stinks because at one point they worked much better.

I don't think I've even had to replace any batteries in my Arlo HD cameras in the last 2-4 months. Are you suddenly having a lot more motion activations each day? Or have longer recording? I definitely haven't seen a battery life drop but if you are, perhaps it's battery related? What batteries are you buying? Could they be fakes?

The only other possibility that crosses my mind is a firmware update doing something, but really, battery life is mostly based on recording time and the number of times a day you open your app and the cameras are all polled
