Adding outdoor power adapter to stickup cam battery
I've had a battery stickup cam (ver 2) for more than a year, that I just finally bought an outdoor power cable for, to avoid having to change batteries every few months. (The camera is actually indoors.) When I plugged it in, the app wanted me to switch the camera to plug-in mode, rather than battery. If I do that, will the battery still work if the A/C power fails (it's on a UPS, so that's unlikely)? If I leave it on battery, will the adapter just keep the battery charged, like the solar cell which can be plugged into the same plug? There seem to have been multiple issues with plug-in stick-up cams over the past couple years, so I would rather keep it on battery if the adapter will keep the battery charged. I don't need the additional features that the plug-in mode would provide. Thanks

Hi @RonE. You can use either [Power Mode](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045463592-Changing-power-modes-on-your-Ring-Stick-Up-Cam-3rd-generation-) on your Stick Up Cam based on your personal preferences regarding the motion settings. The Power Mode does not control the power supply being used by your Stick Up Cam. For example, having it set on battery mode will not make your Stick Up Cam only use the battery for power while it is plugged in via the adapter. It is still powered via the plug-in adapter with the battery being available in case the adapter is accidentally disconnected. I hope this helps clarify things.
