Depends on the sensitivity that you set for the camera. Right out of the box, the camera was set to “80”. —- at the factory setting, maybe 1 week. I have my camera facing my street and sidewalk. So every time a car drives by or a person walks by, the camera picks them up - day time, night time, doesn’t matter. Though at night time the light turns on as well, using more battery than day time. I was going through the battery pretty quick - about 10 percent for every 24 hours - So, in 10 days it would be dead unless I changed something. I changed the setting 1 day after installing the camera. I turned the sensitivity down to “50”. No change in recording activity (that I can see). The battery usage dropped down to about 8 percent for every 24 hours. After 3 weeks installed I charged the battery at 38 percent. I bought a solar charger for the camera. This has been a big help for the battery. After charging the 38 percent battery to 68 percent (taking the battery off and charging it in the house), the solar charger brought the battery up to 82 percent. Afterwards, the battery charges when sunlight is on the solar panel, the battery percentage goes down during the rest of the day and night and recharges the following day when the sunlight is on the solar panels. If you make no changes to the factory settings and you live on a busy street, you will have to charge the battery frequently. If you put the camera in a less active area, then you won’t have to charge the battery as often. It just depends..... Good luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Based upon the current usage of my floodlight camera, I would say at least a few months. I installed mine without charging the battery when I bought it. It was at 49%. It is now still at 32% nearly a month after installation. Some of it may be based upon the frequency of alerts but it does a great job. I added this one to my arlo collection of 8 cameras (6 Pro 2s and 2 Ultras). I could not figure out why my squirrel-proof bird feed was emptying overnight. My new camera recorded a buck in my yard eating all the bird feed.
I would recommend:

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.With my experience it all depends on movement in front of the cámara. In my case it lasts about 2 months before I have to charge it again .
