Battery Life¶
Q
What types of batteries can be used?
Please use AA alkaline batteries. When using the camera in low or high temperature environments, please use lithium batteries.
Q
How long does the battery last?
With alkaline batteries, at a temperature of 20°C and with good signal conditions, approximately 720 “shoot + send” cycles are possible. With timer shooting every 4 hours (6 times/day), the camera operates for approximately 120 days (4 months).
Note: Lithium batteries can generally be expected to last 1.5 times longer or more than alkaline batteries.
Note: Battery life (operating period) will be shorter in the following cases:
When the motion (PIR) sensor is enabled
When the shooting interval is set short
When used in a location with poor signal conditions
When shooting with a high resolution setting
When the flash (LED) is set to a high brightness
Q
Does using the camera in a location with weak signal affect battery life?
Yes, battery life will be shorter. In locations with weak signal, a large amount of power is consumed for connecting to the network and resending data.
