Xiaomi CatY (How to: Battery problem)

Is the battery on your Xiaomi Loock CatY digital peephole and smart doorbell lasting less than expected? Not much you can do about it. Except... see how I solved it! :)

Get it on AliExpress:

Ouch. About to purchase this unit but have no plug near my door so impossible. I have to drill a hole through my door to make this happen so maybe better to select the ring peephole camera instead?

Any solution to save the videos in internal memory without pay the Mi cloud service?

I noticed that there at least 3 variants in the market, but I tend to favor the 8400mAh and
7-inch display version. and any feedback will be appreciated

It cannot be connected to Mi Home. Can I use it without connecting to Mi Home app?
