The batteries on this (we have 2) only last 2 weeks on a full charge even though Ring’s website says 6-12 months. We have our alert area literally from our front door to about 4 feet out and we go In and out of our home through the garage so there are very few alerts going off. Therefore these batteries should be lasting a whole lot longer. I would recommend getting the wired cameras. We have the ring floodlight and it works well. I don’t recommend the battery powered ones AT ALL!
