My original Arlo cameras batteries only last one week after the latest update. I’m using Surefire batteries. Noting changed on motion detect. In fact I have turned them dow to 40% in an attempt to improve life.

I’m running them with an Arlo Pro bade. Three old cameras and two newer cameras with battery pack and speaker

The usual suspects are signal strength/quality as well as the total number of minutes per day of live view and recordings (<5 minutes per day is the spec). Are all cameras showing this? If not, swap cameras around to see if it's the camera or location.  Give us as many details as possible.
