I have run mine fore a couple of years and dont let them run below 20% on the battery. They have 18650 lithium cells inside so not surprised that once the cells are fully discharged they will not charge up again.
They are so bad I ordered two.
Free returns, so check those cameras out with batteries the first 30 days.
I will need to rotate the cameras in and out of my present setup to test them. 4 max!
May just set up another main box. Has anyone run two main units?
$25 for each fully functional outdoor wireless camera with long battery life. Batteries have lasted 6 months ish in all cameras before needing a charge at 30%
When you view a video clip without cloud service, it pulls it off the card as far as I can tell. Pulled the card and all the clips were on the card.
There are no instructions on how to access the card other than view the videos. Evidently the unit auto formatted the 128GB card when I installed it. I did use EXFAT format before inserting the card. The eject functions works.
Seems I remember emailing myself a clip when I first tested this using one drive.

1. Getting up on a ladder every 5-7 months to charge them is not optimum for folks with disabilities.
2. I recharge at 30% / all lithium batteries have issues with use to a dead state before recharge. I have started to not run my yard tools batteries dead before charge.
3. Rotate indoor and out door cameras
4. Run the LAN cable from each mesh node to the base unit. The base unit distance to each camera is the key! I have never used the WIFI function since it was not recommended.
5. Metal of all types interferes with transmission distance. Found out the decorative cross bars and window frames of my windows are a problem if you get too close with the base station.
4. These will not work through a modern gas filled windows unless there is sufficient lighting outside. My streetlamp works for one camera!
5. Height of base station is important for range
6. No fees of any kind
7. keep a short distance between the base station and your mesh nodes.
8. I set my recording activations to minimum needed for each camera/ most cameras are there for situational awareness except the back and front door areas.

I mentioned a bit more about my experience with it behind a window in this old thread …

I remember it being there a year ago on my older cameras.
