Great camera/bad battery

The picture quality of this camera was amazing as was the night video. Installation was easy and setup went smoothly. However, we had to send the camera back and use the wired version. The battery had to be charged once a week. We had the resolution set to low, notifications turned off, we used the lowest sensitivity setting and still got the same results. We live in a residential area with average traffic, but the camera still recorded more than 300 incidents per day. Without the purchased plan they offer, you have no control over the field of view. I've tried setting the camera to only capture lots and sidewalks, but it's very difficult to do it manually. Found another plug-in camera with free 14 days cloud storage and color night vision for less money. This camera may be suitable for a backyard or an area with very little street and sidewalk traffic. I expected at least a month of use without having to pull out a ladder, remove the camera and charge. You can't do it weekly.
