I have a problem with my camera batteries going dead after 4 days or so. I have a vmb4000 base station with 4 original wire free cameras and a pro3 floodlight. The flood light seems to be fine 52% battery after a couple months with no recharge. the problem I am having is with the cameras. The batteries were all dead after some home renovations. once the work was done I put in brand new ones and they were dead in 4-5 days. I though the batteries were bad so I put new ones in again and same thing. Base station and cameras are in the same places they have been since I installed them. Cameras are the original wire free ones with the cr123a batteries. I updated the base station a few years ago. Cameras are about 5 years old. never had any issues until the last month or so. please help! camera firmware is (1.6.297) base station firmware is (1.16.3.4_3614_c289687)

Try bringing one closer to the base to see if that makes a difference. Also, try removing another one from Settings, My Devices and resync it. One of those steps should provide a clue.
