Bought two of these for my daughter's house and very easy to put up and match to her mobile and the app. Good coverage and sound quality with manual or auto security light.

Dear customer,
Thank you for your question!
The battery life of our new Arlo Essential 2nd Generation Outdoor camera is up to 6 months with average use. Average use assumes that you are using the Optimized or Best Battery Life Power Management settings and that your camera records less than three minutes per day. Increasing the length, quality, or quantity of video recordings decreases your battery life.
