What are we doing for battery power? I am the last house on the block but two of my cameras are only lasting for about a month then I'm having to get the ladder out. I probably should have returned them. Any suggestions?

I have the same one. I’m thinking of getting the solar panel for power source. Or the usb plug with 30ft wire

I know. But it defeats the purpose of being wireless. That’s one thing I dislike
