Camera is on Power Saving mode and the software is up to date (11/28/18}. It has taken about 200 pictures in the last week since I put the Duracell batteries in. The lithium batteries before that didn’t last 3 weeks, which I put in 2 other cameras at the same time that are still all bars or P5 from a month ago. Anything else I need to check?

  What size, class and speed is your SD card? Do you have any pending commands?

  Ok, it's a class 10 too I would assume? Look at the online portal and see if the pictures are sequential or if there's gaps or possibly all the same number.

  We can try changing the APN setting. Where are you getting your data from?

  OK, go into the cameras menu and to diagnostics, in there you will find an APN option, the camera will ask you for a password to enter the APN settings page, it's either 1234 or 123456. Once in there the APN should be set to either APNbl or APNbr, whichever one it is change it to the other, Press OK when the camera asks you to to save the change and back out to the main menu where you are looking at what the camera is seeing on the screen. Turn the camera off and then back to set-up. Once the camera finds signal press the OK button to take a picture and then press it again to send the picture, if it sends then turn it to on and see if battery life is better, if it doesn't send then change the APN back.
