Battery usage during night outdoor cam plus
My new Outdoor Cam Plus is using 3-4 % battery in the 4-5 darkest hours during the night. What is odd is that is showing colors, even if not chosen color night vision in the app. My other Outdoor cams (not plus) is working fine, using black and white during night.
The camera is on a quiet place and not recording anything, The last period the battery went from 98 % to 30 % in 25 days.
Can anyone tell what is wrong?

Hi,
There is no problem with the batteries. I have used several batteries, two of them new.
I am sure the issue is that the camera is struggling showing colors in the darkness during the night. I am not able to get the camera to use black and white in darkness. During daytime the battery percentage is steady and not decreasing. As mentioned, my other cameraes are working fine.
