Alerts don't really use much power... Viewing or RECORDING do

 

The regular Arlos I get almost 4 months with best video with the OEM batteries,,,, this in spec usage ( =<5 per day ) of about 3 mins per day ( record or view takes the most power ).  ON very low use cameras ( use mostly just for detection Mode ) I get almost 7 months.

 

As you use them more , the batteries last a shorter time... after you learn how they work, the battery life usu goes up due to lack of "playing".

 

For the PRO cameras.. I seem to be getting about 3 months... I haven't run the pack out yet as when I move it I usu recharge it but normally around 30% I've been recharing.

 

If you using the camera to watch Mom ( like I did ) it may be better if you go with the PRO cameras or the Q camera...these 2 will run on AC all the time if indoors so you don't have to worry about batteries.... As a PS, the PROs can be moved outside later on battery if needed. ( Q is an indoor only cam )
