Bought this item in Nov of 2022. AA batteries do not last long although it should only be for backup since the solar panel + built in battery should provide primary power. I get the low battery warning in less than a month after I changed them. I used to blame the cloudy weather but with 2 summers already, the performance did not change. I read on some reviews that the cable from the solar module to the camera might be defective. I guess that's the case here. Waste of money!
Updated:
I was surprised that customer service contacted me after this review to ask details of the issue I was having. As it was almost 2years since I bought the product, I don't expect any sort of warranty anymore. Then I received an email regarding an RMA. If at all, a new cable would suffice but a new set was sent to me. I just installed the new system hoping I won't emcounter the same issue. But just for the customer service, I'm giving this a 5star!
