Cameras on and ready vs off and battery life. Does anyone know will the battery drain equally if the cameras are on and no motion is detected vs if cameras are off? I'd like to keep my front door camera on all the time but don't want it draining faster than if it is off. Of course i want them on at night as my primary purpose. Thanks

Using the On/Off switch in the camera settings won't make any difference in battery life other than it's not recording. The camera is still alive since it has to be able to respond to the On/Off switch.
