A: Yes, it has a 360 degree adjustable mount for maximum sunlight exposure.

Q: How do I set up this solar panel?

A: You can set it up by mounting the solar panel on the outside of your home and plugging in the charging cable.

Q: Is this solar panel compatible with other devices?

A: This solar panel is designed to be compatible with the SimpliSafe Outdoor Wireless Camera.

Q: according to the specs, it says the lowest temperature it works in is 32 F. Michigan winters will be below that for quite a while. Will this still charge the battery if the sun warms it up enough? kinda useless if you live in a cold weather climate.

A: These solar panels seem to be useless under ANY temps. I don’t think it matters, as they are not making a difference for me. I live in the South and it’s not even cold yet. I’m still seeing my batteries drain daily and still needing to charge my batteries frequently…as if I don’t even have any solar panels connected. Would not recommend.

Q: Will this work with the original Simplisafe Indoor/Outdoor Camera?

A: I don't think it will work with the original SimpliSafe indoor cameras since these indoor cameras do not have any rechargeable batteries. I think these solar panels are for charging the rechargeable batteries installed inside the new SimpliSafe outdoor cameras.

    Works as advertised

    I have tried cheaper ones from amazon but they quit working after a month or so. I think mostly because the connection was not water proof. This one is for a new camera I have yet to install but I am confident this will work just as well as my othe one that has been up for iver a year. Even though where it is mounted only gets a half days worth of sun, the camera has yet to lose its charge.

    Outdoor Camera Batteries 100% 24/7

    The solar panels work perfectly as described. The key is to have the batteries fully charged before relying on the solar panel to trickle charge them. The solar panel does not act like a wall charger, it only maintains an already full battery. Pro tip: You can use one solar panel for two outdoor cameras if you get a mini-USB splitter.

    Poorly designed mounting system

    It does keep the battery charged as intended. But disappointed in quality of product construction. The plastic swing out mount attaches to another thin plastic disc that's held on by two screws. Solar panel is held on literally by two small plastic tabs (Clockwise to mount). And some wind and time will make it fail. Nothing clicks or secures the solar panel effectively. A little push counter clockwise will unmount the panel. In short, the item is poorly designed.

    Great charger even during winter/gray weather!

    This solar panel was easy to install and has been working great. Keep in mind this is a trickle charger. Start off with the battery fully charged. Try to install on a south facing location, and plug it in! Screwing in the base was easy to do. I purchased some cable hooks that nail into the wall to help keep the cable secure outside. We had a week of overcast/grey weather (not common in NC), but it still kept the device fully charged. Even in winter with our days short (but still usual good sun during the day), the battery has stayed 100% for the last 3 weeks. Very satisfied and will purchase another for the other outdoor camera.

    No hassle solar charger

    This was my second purchase of a solar charger for my outdoor cameras. I purchased one earlier and the set up and ease of installation was outstanding. Both cameras have stayed charged up the entire time. The cameras are installed on walls at over 10 feet up so getting to the batteries to charge them was a hassle. Not any more with the solar chargers. I recommend these to anyone with outdoor cameras.
