The Online field needs to show Yes otherwise, what you will see is its last reported battery level. Either it is already empty or the device is disconnected.
NOTE: If the Device Status is Disconnected, the battery level shown is the last that was synced to the Swann Security server and your phone before the camera disconnected. This means the current battery level cannot be seen until the camera is recharged and reconnected to the network.
WARNING! To keep your camera performing at its best, avoid letting the battery drain to 0%. Fully depleting the battery can reduce its overall lifespan and may even prevent it from recharging properly over time.Learn more about why it's important to recharge before hitting 0%:
