My Batteries are draining as in minutes..

[PB08]

We are new to Arlo and while setting up the cameras, batteries have drained down by 20%.  We have set the picture quality to the lowest.  Since then one has gone down another 5% at this rate, they will be dead in a day.   Does this settle down? Is this normal?   Even the cameras that were waiting to be installed that were indoors facing a wall with no movement have drained 20%. Very confused about this.  

So far we have had the cameras out of the box for about 3 hours and not on at for some of that time.

Any ideas would be helpful.

Thank you.

Definitely not normal, specially if all cameras are doing this.

As a start I would open the doors on the cameras, login and delete them from the base and then close up the cameras and do a new install after resetting the base.

Thank you for your suggestion.  We will try that in the morning.
