Battery life varies depending on your camera’s battery capacity, usage behavior, and environmental conditions. This article explains what you can expect from a full charge and how to maximize performance over time.
Estimated Battery Life
Under typical conditions (around 20 short recordings per day, each about 10 seconds, with a strong Wi-Fi signal):
- 5000mAh / 5200mAh: lasts about 2–5 months
- 6700mAh: lasts about 2–6 months
- 9000mAh: lasts about 3–8 months
Each full charge supports thousands of short recordings—up to 3,000 depending on battery size.
Note: These are lab-tested estimates. Actual results vary with usage and surroundings.
What Affects Battery Life
Battery drains faster with:
- Frequent motion triggers (trees, pets, shadows)
- Long recording durations
- Continuous live viewing
- Weak Wi-Fi signal
- Short cooldown time
- Different Cloud and SD Card cooldown time
Tips to Extend Battery Life
To reduce charging frequency:
- Lower motion sensitivity
- Avoid placing near moving objects
- Keep Wi-Fi signal strong
- Limit live view usage
- Longer cooldown time
- Shorter recording duration
- Set the same Cloud and SD Card cooldown time
