Battery Usage vs Mode

Downunda — Fri, 13 Apr 2018 00:26:17 GMT

I have one external Pro2 camera that is not connected to external power. I have the modes setup so that this camerea is not operational except at night... the question I want answered is, is there any battery drain on this camera during the day when the camera is not part of the daytime mode?

I know that I can manually disable the camera through the control program but that is messy as I would have to remember to turn it on and off all the time.

Thanks,

Turning it off via settings vs. being disarmed makes no difference. The camera has to be able to respond to being turned on or to record so the connection remains alive with very little current draw.

Thanks that makes sense.
