Navall 3 DVR Camera staying powered.

Noticed this morning after a frost that the DVR camera remaining powered is generating enough heat to melt the frost. So how much power does this came use when in standby.

I also had the watchdog function ON so presume is has been recording all night, again what different does having this on or off have to power use.?

They do indeed stay on but I haven't measured the draw its pulling.

I've had my car parked up for a good few weeks and never had a flat battery so not an enormous amount I guess!
