I installed four cameras two months ago.  The battery capacity indicators are still on 3 bars.  I'm delighted with this, but wary, because of all the comments about short battery life.  My cameras get used a lot more use than the recommendation in FAQs about Arlo camera batteries.  In fact, my front door camera sees shadows moving, and sometimes records 30 minutes or more a day.

 

So, are the Battery Capacity Indicators still working in the web and android apps, or are they lying to me?

They should be alright.

 

I recently installed a set of rechargeable NiteCore batteries in one of my cameras and it showed only two bars from the beginning, even though they were fully charged. But rechargeables have a lower voltage than the one-way batteries.

 

All my other cameras with one-way batteries also still show three bars, and I installed them in December.
