Best battery life

[Fudgiedog]

With the camera armed does it make a difference what quality the video settings are for battery life if the camera is never turned on. Same with night vision.

If the camera isn'r recording or being used for live viewing, the settings won't make a difference. When in use, night vision will have a small effect but very small. Cell reception and recordings/live view will make the biggest differences.
