TAPO C425 FW drains battery fast
I recently upgraded to the latest V1.6_1.3.12 FW, and ever since I upgraded, my camer a battery is drained fast.. losing about 25% each day..There are only a few triggers of recordings.. but shows it was awake 8hrs each day! I changed nothing except upgraded FW, and prior to this, battery would barely move for days at a time!
Anyone experience this issue?

The camera has since stablized in battery drain back to more normal.. not sure what happened why it depleted 25% per day for 3 days in a row after the FW update..
