      USB port is to plug in a external power source - like a solar panel

      Depends on the amount of activity for said camera. If it's your front porch or back porch and bodies are in and out or doing yard work. Or kids out playing then no. I've yet to get those 2 locations to last longer than 3 to 4 months. Probably best to turn them off if you will have alot of activity going on that day. Still highly recommend these cameras over wired cameras. I just stay stocked on batteries for those 2 cameras and try to turn off motion when I don't need them to record and alert me. I have 5 cameras and my other 3 last alot longer but none last me 2 years, let alone 1 lol. I might get 5 to 6 months but to be fair I Iive off a busy street so passing traffic and people on foot can trigger them on and off. Not to mention all the local stray cats, wasps, flies, butterflies, windy shade from trees or even shadows from cars passing by as the sun sets or rising depending on the direction cameras are facing. 6:27

    I noticed when you opened your app, all your cameras were displayed. How did you do that? My 3 cameras display is blue and I have to tap the play button to activate. That,and I can only view one camera at a time. Would I need a sync module for each camera?

  • @marymartinelli9345
    @marymartinelli9345 8 місяців тому +3

    I have four of these so to start, the batteries only last three months. Read the reviews. Initially, there was no problem but here it is, one year later and it doesn't list the clips in order by time measure. It also decides when it's going to record someone at my front door. On top of that they demand you have Amazon Prime and you pay a fee for each camera. What a waste

    Did anyone else notice how they are boosting their five-star reviews with bots?
    I swear the one Stars reviews were through the roof and the five-star review list was 1/10 of the bracket. Now it's the opposit with five stars all across the board with one stars at 1/10 of the reviews. You can still go to the recent post and they're still getting bombarded by one star reviews yet its still number one🤔
    Shady business tactics they make it unusable and forces you to subscription.
