I have 3 wi-fi cameras outdoors that have all run fine since I purchased and installed them in July 2017. A few weeks ago I had to change the batteries in them all and now one of the cameras has drained battery in just weeks. I thought Id made a mistake and put old batteries back in in error in but Ive ordered new ones and its done the same thing and run down in less than a week. What could be the problem?

What new batteries did you get? Some cheap ones are not great

Also, put your new batteries in and swap the position of this camera with one of the others and see if the problem recurs

they were arlo batteries from amazon.

surely even cheap batteries shouldn't be drained in less than 24 hours?

I wouldn't think so but there are fakes everywhere so you have to be careful with what you buy. Can you post the amazon link?
