In the solar-powered camera kit, the battery life after one charging is several months in normal use, but it may be affected by various environmental factors at your home, such as local weather, number of passers-by, vehicles and other passing objects, as well as number of events detected and recorded.

Some factors that may lead to frequent charging are detailed below:

Local weather

The charging efficiency of lithium ion batteries is very low at a temperature below 40°F / 4°C. Therefore, the lithium ion battery used by the solar-powered camera needs more frequent charging when the temperature is lower than 40°F/ 4°C .

The battery performance will return to normal once the weather warms and remains above the ice point.

Intense activities

If a camera faces the street, vehicles and passers-by can frequently trigger video recording, but the user will not be affected because the smart monitoring and motion detection zone settings filter out faraway events. This situation can seriously reduce the battery life.

The more events will be monitored by the solar-powered camera, and the more frequently the battery enables the power supply to the real-time video stream for the device. More frequent charging might be required if too many events are captured each day.

The battery will also drain faster after long time to watching the live video or long time to talking through the camera each time.
