Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had my Arlo Pro 4 cameras about 2 weeks and decided to purchase these as charging 3 cameras would be a pain. I read reviews on these and some said don't work or must be fully charged to work partially. With 3 cameras facing different angles on my home was going to be a challenge facing the sun as my home runs north west to south east. I am totally impressed with these Arlo solar panels after a month. I tried mounting them south east and west and north west. I must have done something right because they charged my cameras excellent. Even on cloudy days the ultra violent rays come through and charged the cameras. If your having a problem charging with these you did something wrong. They will even take my cameras from 50% to full charge in a few days. I am extremely happy and highly recommend these solar panels.

Awesome solar panel charger, I recently purchased this Arlo brand solar panel i originally had purchased an aftermarket brand for my floodlight camera and it started working fine for 2-3 months then it stopped working and kept shutting off my camera. Replaced it with the actual Arlo brand solar panel and since then works perfectly and it actually charged it a lot faster and works when it needs to perfect highly recommend this solar panel

When I considered what security cameras to buy, I should've considered how good the customer support was. That was my biggest mistake with purchasing Arlo. When they work, the cameras are great. However, if you have a problem, do not expect good customer support! I don't know if they outsource their support to India, but I've never spoken to an American, I know that! They are difficult to communicate with and they don't provide accurate solutions. I have 9 cameras (3 Pro 4 and 6 Pro 5s). The cameras are different ages. The Pro 4s are 2 years old; 3 of the Pro 5s cams are 1.5 years old; and 3 Pro 5s are only 1 year old. About 1 to 2 months ago, all 9 cameras started going dead within 1 to 2 weeks. I suspected some type of firmware update is the cause, as that's the ony thing that makes sense. How else would 9 cameras, of different ages, all start draining the batteries. 3 of them are actually on a completely different ISP, so I don't think it has to do with my ISP. Anyway, I finally called customer support, and the guy could only detect any info off of 1 camera. He claimed it had been recently charged that same day by a faulty charger that same day. 1) It was charged 4 days prior to my call; 2) This does not explain why all 9 cameras have an issue (I have 3 chargers, I don't think they're all bad. In fact, I don't think any are bad). He suggested I try charging the cameras with a magnetic cable instead. He made several wild claims. For instance, he said the temp was high on one camera, but this camera is in 1 of the coolest areas and is under a roof in a shaded area. The bottom line, I don't think the guy really looked at anything at all, and I think he was just throwing our random reasons for the problem, none of which explaining why all 9 cameras would be losing their charge so fast. The app is also very basic (automated capabilities suck); They recently doubled the montly subscription cost (it's not insanely high). Anyway, I'd just consider other brands if it were me after this experience. I'm not sure you can trust any battery operated cameras, because Lithium batteries, frankly, just don't last that long, and they're expensive to replace. There have been 2 other instances with their customer support. 1 of the times I called them was because "Arm Home" wasn't working, and he claimed I had to always use Arm Away (made absolutely no sense). The other time was my sister couldn't access the recorded camera feeds during her trial. They were never able to resolve her issue, and , thus, she really never got her free trial, because it didn't work. They should've resolved her issue and re-started her trial instead.

I bought this solar panel over a year ago to charge my front yard camera , I thought I’d give it a try before I bought any other Arlo products , and honestly it’s a great investment if you want to have your home secured 24/7 since the solar panel keeps it fully charged there is no need to remove your camera from its stand

I'm a disabled Army veteran and retired law enforcement officer. These solar charging panels are the best. They are lightweight and easy to install. Changing batteries in my Arlo Pro 4 cameras is a thing of the past. It was very difficult and dangerous for me to climb a ladder each and every time to change the batteries, but these solar panels have saved the day. Well worth the money.

Arlo is an excellent product. Best buy has a good selection in stock.

Charges some even when cloudy and very cold. Likes temps around 45 to 50° to charge more-increasing as the temp rises. I faced the solar panels mostly south for all day charging. The 6.5 ft wire is ample for all 4 of my camera/panel installs. So far after 10 days/nights with moderate activity averaging 92+% charge. Great quality and I highly recommend.

These Arlo Solar Panels are nothing short of AMAZING!!! They’re SUPER easy to install, and my batteries have remained at 100% since these panels have been installed! These are a “must have” for anyone who gets plenty of sunlight in the areas where the cameras are installed!

The solar panel is worth it. I've connected it to the camera that gets the most use and now I don't have to worry about getting on a ladder to charge it.

Works well and keeps my Arlo charged. Great option.

I bought one of the Arlo cameras for my mom and she would sometimes forget to charge the camera. After buying the Arlo solar panel, she never has to worry about charging her Arlo camera.

I have 6 of these panels now to keep the cameras charged. The cameras are on schedule for surveillance from dusk to dawn. The panels work great keeping all batteries at 100%. Very happy I’m not up on a ladder swapping batteries every 5-6 months.

I am so greatful for technology. We purchased these Arlo solar security system. This was one of our best buy purchases. We ordered 3 solar panels and 3 cameras and I am overly impressed. We have captured every event, you must have internet to activate and use these cameras. You can self monitor you home or go on a service plan or pay $50 a year for video monitoring. Excellent buy. I am a verified customer.

I love this panel. I haven’t had to replace the battery yet of my outdoor cameras. They go down to about 95% charged and go back up to 100% during day. Replaced the indoor batteries twice already

I Purchased this for my Ultra 2. Initially bought 3 panels for 3 cameras but I returned two of them. Installation is a breeze and connectivity is simple as charging the camera. I followed all recommendations to make this perform at the optimal operation. As a background I live in Phoenix, Az that it is sunny most of the time. I installed this with my camera at 100% fully charged and face the panel where it would get all day sun exposure with its positioning. It worked fine for a week. After the week my camera percentage dropped to 35% after moderate use. It was not charging. In fact my camera would die and it would take 2 days to give it a little juice to start functioning again. My camera stays at 15-25% battery life with the “it’s charging Indicator.” This is the reason I returned the other panels. If you provide everything the solar panel needs to perform at its best and it performs poorly I can’t recommend it. On the side note with the Ultra 2 it overheats easily and says it needs to cool down. You would think that they would have it in mind when developing this camera to withstand all type of climates. I bought 4 of the Arlo Ultra 2 cameras. The quality is very good but if it’s not working 1/2 the time is it worth it?

I was excited to use this cause I love Arlo products but noticed their battery life isn’t the best. I constantly charge my cameras weekly with the exception of my doorbell. Attached is a picture from Friday. Keep in mind this was fully charged Thursday. It is now Tuesday just a few days later and it’s dead. It says it was “charging” but feel like it made it worse. I give it 2 stars because installation was easy.

Gotta say hands down by far the best haven’t failed me.

Solar does a good job charging my cameras with no issues.

Places in great location on roof, but it will not charge not hold the battery charger on my camera.
