### Battery drains fast
The Reolink Home Assistant integration is supposed to only wake battery cameras once per hour for about 10 seconds, which should not have a big impact on battery life. However there are several things that can influence battery life significantly:
The Reolink Home Assistant integration is supposed to only wake battery cameras once per hour for about 10 seconds, which should not have a big impact on battery life. You can check this using the **Sleep status** entity. However there are several things that can influence battery life significantly:
- Make sure the **Preload camera stream** option is turned off for all battery camera entities under {% my integrations title="**Settings** > **Devices & services**" %} > Reolink integration card > **x devices** > select the battery camera > select the camera stream (do this for all enabled streams) > Gear icon {% icon "mdi:cog-outline" %}. The Preload camera stream will keep a active stream open, keeping the camera awake. This will drain the battery.
- Make sure the **Manual Record** switch is turned off. While this switch is on, the camera will be awake and recording. Excessive use of this entity will drain the battery.
