Model: Tapo C410 KIT  
Hardware Version:
Firmware Version: Latest firmware

After installing new firmware of my c410 kit camera, battery is draining incredibly fast. From 89% to 5% for 2 days. Before update was 3% a day.

Check whether the camera's wake-up times are normal. If it is high, check the area in front of the camera (within its field of view) for any changes that might cause frequent wake-ups, such as blinking lights or swaying trees and bushes.

More advice on: What to do if the battery drains quickly on my Tapo battery-powered camera/doorbell?

 

What's the hardware and firmware version of your camera? What router do you use? Any network extension devices?

I'm having this exact same issue. There are no activations on the camera.

The number of camera wake-ups does not equate to motion detection events or recordings. AI algorithms filter out false positives, so the camera may activate multiple times but only log and record valid events.
