About Battery
This camera adopts innovative low-power technology and has different power consumption in different scenarios, giving it a more durable standby capability.
When there is no motion detection, the camera will enter sleep mode with the lowest power consumption.When a motion is detected, the camera will bewoken up immediately and start recording video.
Notes
- If the camera is pointed to a busy street, it will be woken up frequently and detect massive movements, as a result, the battery power will be consumed quickly.
- The battery consumption and standby time are closely related to the number of detected motions a day.The more detected motions, the faster battery consumption and the shorter battery standby time.
- The typical estimated life of a Lithium-ion battery is about two to three years or 300 to 500 charge cycles which ever occurs first. One charge cycle is a period of use from fully charged, to fully discharged.
- The recommended operation environment for the camera is 4°F~140°F(20°C-60°C).For lower temperatures, it may slow down the battery performance.
