Hi,

 

I have this camera located at on end of my property with a regular 3 bars signal that keeps draining my battery. It is triggered once a while at night because of some light reflection but nother more than that. I don't do any live viewing nor nothing that cause my new battery to lose 40% in 5-6 days.

 

Anyone can help ?

 

Thanks

Bo

Open and close the battery door to reset the camera...

 

Swap the camera with my ne working well to see if it's the location or camera.

If it continues in the new location, contact Netgear via Support

Desiringbroom70,

 

It sounds like the camera could be struggling to maintain a connection with the base station due to it's location, resulting in increased battery drain. Try swapping the camera with one that is behaving as expected (as suggested above by TomMac) to further isolate the issue.

 

Please let us know the results,
