Hello, I bought a generic Wifi camera from Temu, it says "5V" on the label, but I don't know if it consumes 1AMP or more ...

I power it via USB with my drone's batteries - 3 of them - one is 2250mAh and that makes 6750mAh in total.
I also have one more battery that is about 4Ah alone...

Lets just say that i have only 6750 mAh and the conditions are "ideal" - the air temperature is normal... how long it should last if it is connected constantly on WiFi and lets say that it records only in the event of motion or sound detection ?

Sorry, I couldnt find a single review or document witht he units power consumption. I would plug it into a 5v 1a old usb charger and see if it works, then you'll know its max usage is 5w or less. If it doesnt work then move up to a 2.5a charger, etc... Otherwise you'll need to find out with power meter. I use a kill-a-watt to do those things. be sure to check it in the dark so that the leds are on too.

Thanks.
Maybe I will measure the consumption with USB cable with built-in mini display... I will get back with updates when I am ready. :)
