I bought these cameras and this one started draining batteries very quickly and killing the cost having to buy batteries way to often.

golfkinger,

 

Battery drain can occur from usage (live streaming and recording) or poor signal strength. How often are the cameras in use (live streaming time + recording time)? What is the WiFi signal strength for the affected cameras?

 

If signal strength is an issue, you might try relocating your base station closer to the affected cameras, or relocate the cameras closer to the base station to improve the WiFi signal.
