Temps not cold here at all. The one (of 4) camera is in the shade too. Battery showed full charge and then within a matter of 2 days, showed almost empty of charge, then fully drained. All within 2-3 days.

I changed out the batteries and all is good, but why would the battery drain so fast? This camera does NOT get a lot of activiaty or alerts.

I also do not have them running or armed all the time.

Thank you.

Live viewing uses the battery as does weak WiFi with the base.  Is the signal good?  Look in Settings, My Devices, your camera and check the WiFi signal strength.  Also, are there any other wireless devices nearby either the base or camera that could interfere with the signal?  Doesn't have to be WiFi, just 2.4GHz.
