Not happy with life of battery on this model. Based on your videos it was stated the battery could last up to 6 months. Our battery has required to be recharged every 3 weeks. I was expecting to last at least a couple months. The battery on the previous camera we had "Wyze cam outdoor" lasted much longer. Unfortunately, I do not see this model for sale any longer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The video and images I get from the camera are great. Wifi is a bit week. And I get a lot of errors about couldn't upload video due to wifi. The cam 2 I had in the same spot was fine.
Cameras work great but the battery on the outside camera doesn’t last long due to the extreme heat so I switch it with the other one every day. I just ordered another pair for this reason.
Bought 6 pieces but find all of them difficult to connect to

Hardware wise, It's a fine camera, decent battery, good live view. However, they have removed almost all of the free features, short video clips, limited smart detection, etc. All you get is a snapshot of the motion detection. And in my opinion, it doesn't detect motion from far enough away. They really want you to buy the monthly subscription, if you already have it, it's a good camera, but if you don't, then it's very limited.
