Basically, I plug in the Apple charger to the wall, plug it in the phone and the top right little battery icon shows the charging icon. I open icam and have it on one camera using earphones - so i'm just watching one camera with audio. When I have stopped and looked at the battery it is sometimes in the teens. I have tried some tests of running icam and then stopping to open a battery monitor that also shows "charging" OR "discharging" - even though the phone is plugged in, it will show discharging for a bit and then switch to charging. It may be something else, but I have only had this happen when I have used the icam for an extended time viewing one camera - where the iphone is plugged into power and ends up with less battery than when I have been viewing icam. Anything you would suggest I try to help identify that it is not either icam or how I am using it. Thanks for your time and help. Bill
