live viewing vs recording

manfredz — Sat, 25 Feb 2017 01:48:21 GMT

am i right in concluding that the battery drain would be the same if i'm doing lengthy live viewing as opposed to recording the same. I figure that since i think the cam involvement is the same either way? Or am I missing something?
