Hi,

I have two Tapo C425 cameras. One on the front of my house and one at the back.

Both are scheduled to enable privacy mode between 07:00-22:00 and then disable privacy mode 22:01-06:59.

I charged both cameras to 100% the same day, yet the camera at the front of house is at 29% battery and the one in the back of house is 69%.

What can be the underlying issue here that there is such a big difference in the battery?

Does the privacy mode just disable recording and notifications, but the motion sensor is still on and activates? It would definitely trigger more on the front house (29% battery) as we go through that door many time during the day and there is a awning there aswell that when its windy im sure it triggers the motion sensor. Also if it pick up cars driving by.

If this is the case, should I automate enable and disable motion sensor during that time period instead of privacy mode? If that is even possible. I don't really want this much differnce is battery drain.
