F8P DoorBell: the fully charged battery is supposed to last months. I have to charge it every month. What am I doing wrong. Should it only record movement on my porch and not down path to very busy sidewalk and major street?
Hello, @carolxi It sounds like your F8P DoorBell is detecting more motion than intended, which can definitely drain the battery faster than expected. Here are a few things you can check to optimize battery life:
-
Motion Detection Zones: Make sure the detection area is limited to your porch. If it’s picking up movement from the sidewalk or street, try adjusting the activity zone in the app to exclude those areas.
-
Sensitivity Settings: Lowering the motion sensitivity can help reduce unnecessary recordings triggered by distant movement.
-
Recording Mode: “event-only” mode (motion-triggered) can save battery.
-
Firmware Update: Double-check that your device is running the latest firmware — updates often include battery optimizations.
