“We just had our spotlight cameras installed last week. They all have the solar panel with them. However, they are all sending low battery messages. How can batteries be critically low after a week and with a solar panel?”

Some of the Old Solar Panel might have factory defect which I experienced recently that is why I uninstalled it and send it back for replacement. Now, the Solar Panel has been charging well. I hope this helps..
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Make sure the panel is in the sun constantly. Also check to see if the cable is out, mine came out a couple times because I can't get the screw from behind the spotlight cam off to latch it down.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your panel has to face the sun. The more shade free direct sun the better it is. I get about 7-12% charge per day. Took about a week for 34% full battery to reach 100% and after then it always stayed charged. You may have to play with the angle it’s at or even try moving them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.We’re the batteries fully charged prior to installing them?
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Perhaps you need to fully charge it before setting it up. Maybe your camera settings pull the same power as it charges.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need very bright sunshine if clouds will not work
