A major problem I had is that every time a car passed by my house despite the doorbell not having view of the street I would get alerts which extremely drained the battery. Installing the wedge which points the doorbell at an angle helped to mitigate this issue significantly though.
I'm thinking the problem will appear again in the summer months however as I suspect the sun is reflecting off passing cars which were triggering the alerts. The wedge does help though that's for sure.
Battery life is about 5 months for me after I installed the wedge to reduce alerts and 2 months without it.
Also, you can attach a cheap USB drive to the Sync Model 2 to record footage ergo you don't need to pay anything for viewing past video clips/alerts.
Viewing video via USB is slow to load however and clips are not named in a logical/comprehensible manner. For example, I took out my trash today at 12:36AM EST and the recorded video file is named 4061835624. The videos are displayed in sequence though; from newest to oldest descending so it's still usable if somewhat annoying.
Overall, I would recommend installing Blink doorbells on a rarely used backdoor to reduce false alerts plus battery usage and get something else for your front as my experience has been less than stellar...
