I thought I'd test the length of time Spykee will run for.  So to get some meaningful results I connected to Spykee which unparked it from the base unit, and then left it alone, ie I didn't drive it around.

After 5 hours I was still connected and receiving video, so I went to bed thinking that it would automatically park itself when the batteries got low.
It didn't, the next morning Spykee was still unparked and the batts were dead.

I thought it had an automatic park mode which kicked in when the batteries got low, has anybody else
had a look at this facility?    I can set Spykee to park by clicking on the battery icon in the GUI, so I know it works.

Yep, got all that.    I left Spykee about 30cm from the base unit facing away, so it would have an easy job finding it.
After the batteries died, I had to recharge then reset all my network stuff on Spykee. 

It seems that the motion detection is done on the PC because thats where the "video surveillance" tab is.

So spykee won't detect any movement,  the PC does that.  As you say, a firmware update may work.
But beware the words at the top of page 37 of the manual, you may need to send the whole unit back to the factory,
Most things (computer/network stuff) have a return to factory setting default, it would be good if this was available
on Spykee.
