      Hello Ronp,

      Thanks for sharing with us your feedback. We want to clarify that this Arlo Solar Panel is designed to work with the Arlo Essential cameras only. If you have a different Arlo camera model, we recommend getting the right solar panel for the unit.

      You may contact Arlo Support Team to help check it and recommend the right one for you : https://www.arlo.com/en-us/support/contact.aspx.

    It really works!

    Installed this solar charger when i moved my Arlo to a hard to reach place that i don't plan on having to reach often. I installed it for a "test" with the Arlo battery at 42%. I pointed the solar panel where it'll get direct sun for about 2 hours a day since i live within feet of mature trees that block all but overhead sunlight. It took 2 weeks to charge to 100%, but it has held that 98-100% battery for almost 2 months. I should also mention that the Arlo camera gets triggered many times throughout the day with kids and dogs. I can't recommend this highly enough as it is amazing. I was charging every 2-3 weeks but that's over now!

    Total game changer when added to the camera. Especially in a high traffic area. No need to keep charging battery. With good sunlight it never drop below 98% charge.

    Honestly I think it’s overpriced

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The product itself is good. I was able to increase the quantity of the image without worrying about battery life but I do feel like they can be priced better especially the ones like I have with a micro usb connection. But I am pleased with the fact I don’t need to climb ladders every 2 to 3 months
