Massive battery drain TC82 camera.
Friday
Model: TC82  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: 1.01

Camera went from working perfectly, to dropping from 30 percent battery to 5 percent in the space of 24 hour or so.

 

Since recharging it has dropped an average of 10 percent per day.

 

Was installed in October and was perfect until a few days ago.

 

It now doesn't detect anyone either.  I can be walking in front of it and it won't notify me of an event and has not recorded an event either.

 

Looking for assistance as it is just over 2 months old.

  @GumperP hi same is happening with mine. Only been the last 2 weeks too. No idea what's causing it as it has the same settings as other outdoor camera. Solar panel is definitely not charging it.

  @ClareM I took mine down today to reset it, see if it would help.

 

Seems to have made it worse as now it won't connect to any WiFi network.

 

I'm waiting on a WiFi booster for a different part of the house so I can check and see if it is a signal issue.  I don't believe it to be so though, as it worked for 2.5 months without any issues at all.

 

Unfortunately I think it is broken.  And outside of the refund period on Amazon too.  Figures...
