Just wanted to share my battery usage results after following @Wayne-TP advice from this article, wondering everyone elses experience and expectations.

SUMMARY:

- Install Date (100% Charge): 12/09/2025
- Recharge Date: 10/10/2025 (Battery Remaining: 9%) 
Total Usage: 28 days (So roughly a month to 0%)

I’ve tried to follow the battery drain recommendations closely, and I’ve attached screenshots showing the summary of usage for transparency.

From what I’m seeing, its not even close to reaching the 210 days advertised, even with the suggested optimisations. I’m a bit on the fence about being told to limit or disable almost all features to improve battery life, almost feels like a waste of money to sacrifice features/quality for longevity.

Even when using all the features, the image and performance are 'ok' (Not quite on par with our 2K C120, and competitiors 2K doorbell cams which might have raised my expectations a bit). Obvioulsy I have an ongoing investigation on the 4 second blip, so maybe I have a bad batch. If yours is amazing please share, and if its a matter of wired/wireless difference, I would have quite like to have been informed before purchase, like a small print.

Unfortunately, due to rental restrictions I can’t have it wired for now, but I love the option to switch to wired if that ever becomes possible.

Anyway, I was just wondering if this level of battery performance is normal or mutually agreed on higher expectations based on your experience.
