RV Security
I was over on the Technology subject looking for some advice on putting a security camera in my storage unit. While doing research I discovered a product that I did not know existed, but if it works ...

Ok, a couple wanted a report back on this. When I first got the camera I put it on the charger overnight. They advertise 45 days of battery life, but the battery was dead in two weeks exactly. I'm not too concerned about that, as it was the first charge and the camera is in a metal warehouse where the outdoor temps have been over 100 degrees most of the month. So maybe a combination of heat and the first charge caused it to die faster. And I did check it farily often playing with it so that probably didn't help. Anyway, I have power there so now it's plugged in and will stay plugged in. I'll only use it on battery when I take it camping and use it for security in the motorhome. So I won't be able to report back on battery life as it will always be plugged in when I leave it for any length of time.
On data use, in two weeks it used exactly .089 GB of data. In looking at the charts, on each day the camera was working and I did not view the video, it checks in with the cell network every six hours. Each check in used between .00001 and .00003 GB of data. So when it's not being triggered by motion or me checking in on it, it's barely using any data and even when checking in on it it hardly uses anything.
Thanks for update. They seem to be working out for you.
