I've got a situation where I'm trying to decide whether I need to get wired or wireless.
I've go a really small yard and mounting away from the house is not an option. The easiest mounting for me is going to be about 12 feet out from the house and 10 feet above the walking surface of a deck. I've got a convenient trellis I'll be able mount a pole on. Yeah, my wind direction and speed won't be optimal, but I'm not looking for location suggestions, just giving background.
Anyway. My solar exposure is going to be minimal because its on the North side of the house and most of the day it will be in the house shadow. How long will the Lithium battery last with minimal solar exposure? i.e. less than 6 hours/day. I'll actually have a pretty good shot at the morning sun to the east.
The specs on the VP2 say 8 months with Zero Solar. Is this correct? I'll be looking at the 24 hour aspirated version which draws 0.75 Watts.
