Hello, 

 

Is there statistics available on how much battery the cameras consume every time the mode is changed (either as a schedule(automatically) or manually) ?

 

Cheers,

No stats... but some info.

Recording or live View ; most power used

Armed ; very little, just enough to run the PIR curcuit

Disarmed ; almost null.. just enough to ping the base now and then to let it know the camera is there

 

So for the orig question...very little power or none is used in the Mode change( done in base ), it just depends on what the camera is doing after receiving command from the base unit.

 

Can say I hav 1 or 2 (Arlo) very little used cameras ( maybe less than a min per week , mostly disarmed ) these cameras the batteries run almost 7 months before change Most of my cams run 3-4 months depends on usage ... spec usage is =< 5 mins per day.
