Last few days every camera ( inside house and out) has been draining batteries...when system was not active! Disarmed or armed
Set up has not changed from day one. It's not a range issue or router positioning.
Anyone else?
Firmware update?
Cameras = 1.2.16720
Base = 1.10.0.7_21310

When I'm at home, I disarm most cameras, and arm them all before I leave the house. I've noticed that most cameras, whether they are armed or disarmed, continue to drain their batteries at the same rate. So, yes, I see the same issue that you're having. Has only started happening since the May / June updates.

Yes! And I can’t see my recordings, and my cameras say ‘checking camera status’ for almost 5 min before I can even view them live! Oh, and I have been getting motion alerts about an hour later. This only started yesterday or the day before!

I tested it out and turned off one of my cameras from the app all day. It went down to 9% from 25%. Added fresh batteries and same thing.
So I tried it on a separate camera and same thing.
It's not the heat as one camera tested is indoors.
Luckily I use rechargeable batteries
