Sorry that the battery-powered camera cannot support to do this. The camera will be in standby mode if it is not triggered by the movement or no one live view the camera, in order to save energy and extend the battery life.

Thank you.
Reolink should let this choice by the owner of the cam.
Sometimes i need Live View for some Hours. That is a problem to reload all 20 minutes.
The cam is most time permanently powered. The Akku would not be the problem.
A Software Update would be fine..
Best regards, guenter

@cynthia_124785627824270 After almost 4 years, has there been no progress? I recently purchased the camera and am experiencing an issue where I need to reset the connection on the computer every 5 minutes to prevent the camera from disconnecting. I understand the goal is to save battery, but if I need to monitor something for an extended period, it should be possible, even if it reduces battery life. This decision should be left to the user and not restricted by the software. I may need to explore other options if this cannot be resolved.
One question beforehand: Do your power-operated cameras have similar limitations?

I agree, i just purchased one of your cameras and will probably have to return it do to this feature.

I ran the camera for 10 hours yesterday and battery was still at 60% while clicking my laptop every 5 minutes to keep it on. I don't even have it hooked to a solar panel. Its a great tool for managing my construction site but the auto stop needs to have a disable option.

Multiple outside camera forums are full of hate for Reolink over this awful feature, fix it or continue to lose money...............
