Hey guys new to arlo. We have 3 arlo ultra camera and our one that is located in our front driveway, goes through the battery very quickly. It only lasted 2 days. We have a soloar panel but been cloudy days past few days. We also have to move the solor panel to a better location. The camera has recorded 2 things in the past 2 days. I even changed settings to save power. Can anyone help with what i can do to get battery o last longer? Thanks

I had the same exact thing. Tried swapping locations, batteries even removing/readding camera. None of that worked I finally contacted Arlo and they sent me the replacement camera. Almost 2 months later, that camera is at over 90% charged.

@calvin65240 hopefully its just something simple. Its weird tho like its just happened suddenly.

Have you tried that battery in other cameras to be sure it’s not the battery?

@tedesco7258 Good luck. At least it’s in warranty if it comes to that.

I would first try the battery in another camera and then swap camera positions around to determine if it's due to battery or camera or location
