“Our battery does not last more than 6 weeks with the trial video. We recharged the battery and already it is down to less than 50% in 4 weeks. This is without the recording as the trial period ended. It also takes about 45 sec to view a motion alert.”

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Check you Wifi signal strength. The system might drain battery down trying to get good reception. 45sec delay in viewing motion alert might be due to the same reason. Also check your motion & alert setting as high settings would drain the battery too.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Just do the $100 for a year. It is minimal for peace of mind. 6 weeks is good. The spotlight cam battery only lasts 4 to 5 days. Just asking but its a battery. How long you want it to last? Takes 2 seconds to pull it out when I am home to recharge.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would use the connection from your existing door bell and connect it that way, so it will always be hard wired.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.How cold is it? Ring only works to -4 F. Cold saps the batteries. Even while connected to house power. My sister in law has one in North Dakota and it is useless below zero and sporadic under freezing.
