Hi, i'm guessing i can save battery life if i turn off/disable my cameras when i'm home/don't need them. Can someone please confirm? Is the battery life saving substantial if i turn the cameras off? Thank you! Steve

You really don't save any power turning the cameras OFF ( in settings )... Just DISARM them and the power usage is almost null ( just pings the base now and then to let the base know its there )

The OFF in settings is more of a privacy mode so no one can view camera if shared or in private areas like bedrooms. Only the primary account holder can turn back on

Highest power usage is recording or live viewing
