If the camera is having problems connecting originally to the base, range may be the problem ( or interference ).

Since you say the camera is offline now, I would guess that the batteries are prob dead or close to it ( cameras drain battery if connection is lost to base or range is excessive faster )

So, my advice is to get the cameras, and bring them in near the base, install new batteries and re-sync   base.... Once verified that the cameras are up and running well, reinstall them at the locations, BUT watch the signal strength meter for the connection.  If the signal is in the 1/3 range then you will have to consider adding a second base to extend your range or relocate the current base to a more central location

But camera has worked well for 4 months and batteries not dead

Could be a bad camera but unless you try the things Tom suggests, you're guessing.  Support will have you try the same things if trying to get an RMA for a bad camera.

The camera was defective - Arlo is sending out a new camera
