Hello

 

The batteries are quickly used in some rooms.

I have tried to use rechargebel batteries but the are only on the marked with a little capasety so dont last long

 

Does an upgrade exist so that I can put direct power to the cameraes, like the new camera.

or is there good rechargebel batteires out there that can be used

Not knowing how much you use the cameras is a big factor.

My OEM cells run from 4 months (spec use of 4 mins day ) high quality to 7 months for the couple use rarely.  Almost any of the decent rechargeables should last about 40 days on spec use to a high of 60+

 

Other than that, the only wasy to power the Arlo cams is to do some of the hacks that have been posted on the board which also void warranty

can you give a name on the rechargebel

 

 

10-20 times a day in the livingroom 45 days

3-5 times a day in the other,  3 months

 

the rechargebel last for 5 to 7 days , so must be bad ones I have recieved

10-20 per day - how long are the recordings? Live view usage? 

 

It appears that the Nitecores and Eagletacs are the general keepers. They're only rated at 650-750mAH but do the job as well as or better than the cheap, grossly overrated ones. In actuality, chemistry restraints will prevent any rechargeables from having an actual capacity beyond these.
