Your camera has been woken up way more excessively, with over 7000 times in just one day, which certainly drains the battery significantly.

 

Were there any noticeable changes in the monitoring environment during those days, such as an increase in passing vehicles or people, or a rise in light sources? You might try setting the camera to privacy mode for half a day or a full day to see if the wake-up count still appears -- normally, it should be zero in this mode. Or you can point the camera towards a wall or another area where activity is unlikely to occur or is very minimal.

  @Wayne-TP sorry took so long to get back, lowered settings which seemed to work but sometimes missing when someone approaches the door quite a lot but as of this morning both bell and hub were offline took me ages to reconnect the hub ,had to reset and everything off and on but bell will not connect to hub for some reason so at the moment might end up binning it and get something else.

For installation failure, check the guidance here. What can I do if the battery-powered cameras fail to pair with the Tapo H200?

The hub installs on app but just won't connect to d230 both next to each other both flashing green and after a while says unable to connect to tapo device. On a second note if I press the hub in the app it either shuts down or goes to option page and freezes. Reset etc multiple times etc only thing happened lately was an update but can't remember if it was hub camera or app. Just tried again this morning connected the hub and it updated app worked and doorbell connected so at the moment all working ok again.
