Mark for later?

Ahh that is probably it, thanks! For the life of me I couldn't come up with anything that fit.

Surveillance systems are the closest thing to mission critical applications.

I don't know how security cameras could be considered "mission critical" in the typical home environment when you consider the fact that the vast majority of homes have none at all.

It should almost go without saying that if you want the most reliability, you'd use wired network connections. POE makes it all the easier, since it also solves the problem of powering devices that are often located in odd, remote locations. It also lets you use a single UPS to keep them all running through a loss of power.

3-4 weeks?

Well, I have the same system. My battery last 3 months easily in high traffic outdoor areas, and much longer indoors.

3-4 weeks seems like malfunction to me.

i have long record times and sensitivity turned up to 100%

We've really been a fan of the Nest ecosystem --- have their thermo's, yale locks, cameras and door bell. Subscribed to Nest Aware 5 day history ($12.50 a month for 4 cameras)

So far, it has been flawless-- I was worried about using wifi for the data, but we have not had any hiccups

Well if one is needed for the reason of security in the first place, then yes it needs to be reliable. What's worse than no security at all is having a system that you depend on and having the feeling of being more secure because of it, only to be let down due to a failure. Anything can and will fail but the convenience of wifi is not something you'd want here.
