Arlo Pro Battery Depletion!!!
So I installed the Arlo Pro cams yesterday night. I am testing them in my living room. Obviously everyone walks around all day/night. I got about 100 items in my “library”. Have also done many live views? Everytime I checked the cam I do a live view almost. But the battery life is down to 90% (from 100% out of the box). Is this normal????
The cam will be transferred outdoors soon. I am a bit worried about rapid battery depletion.

I would suggest setting schedules via modes or turning off specific cameras when you are home. this will reduce battery drain. Typical battery life is 3-4 months with les. than 5 minutes usage each day.
The more use each camera has, the more battery drain. .

Recording AND Live View, use the same amount of power from the battery ,100-140ma ( the most ; except at night when the IRs come on which adds another 100ma draw )
ARMED mode uses just enough to power the trigger circuit until motion is detected and then it as above.
DISARMED uses almost null power
These are "motion - detect - then - record " type of cameras.
The whole system of battery life is based on Arming the cameras to detect, but not necessarily view them except after an alert. ( and then your mostly looking at the stored library which doesn't use battery power )
Most people tend to use the cameras alot in the first month or so till they get use to how they function and then battery life goes up a bit.
