Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the easy installation, long battery life, and solar-powered feature of the product. They appreciate that the solar panel is convenient and efficient, helping to keep their cameras charged without the hassle of constantly replacing batteries. However, some customers have concerns about the charging effectiveness, compatibility with older Arlo cameras, price, sunlight requirements, and occasional instances of the solar panel not charging.

    Arlo home security camera solar charger

    I am very happy with my purchase of this Arlo product. The solar charger makes it so much easier for me to know that the Arlo camera is always charged and ready to go. Previously I would have to remember to plug up the camera with the wall charger and sometimes the battery life would be low. Now it's always charged. The whole wireless Arlo camera system is very easy to set up and I like knowing I can always check on things around my house when home or away.

    No More Ladders....

    I have had this for almost 2 years with no issues. The set-up is the same as the camera and comes with an extended code for charging. Mine is set-up right next to the camera for the best access to the sun. I zip tied the excess cord. Its great not having to get on the ladder to have to recharge the camera.

    perfect for mounting the camera out of reach

    Of course, an easy to reach outdoor camera is also easy to vandalize or steal. So mounting it out of reach makes sense, until it is time to recharge the battery. Then it involves getting out the ladder, taking out the battery, charging it (and having no monitoring for the hours of charging), and a second trip up the ladder to put it back in. The solar panel takes care of all of that. Optimally, having the panel aimed south gets the most lumens for your buck, and the long cable lets you adjust the panel with a pretty good flexibility. Since the front of the house points east, I was able to place the camera optimal to see the front entry, but place the solar panel "around the corner" of the house, aimed south. Arlo sends out notices to your email, and can be easily checked in the app, for battery status. With the solar panel, even with cloudy days for 3-4 days in a row, the battery is always well charged.

    It was easy to install and works well in maintaining a charge on the camera. I plan on getting a couple more for our other cameras. Would like to see BB stock the black charger also.

    These Arlo solar panels are just what I needed. I went from having to change the battery on my Arlo Pro 4 every week to going for a month or so without having to change the battery. I wish they had longer cords for more reach, but other than that, they work great as long as you have them in the sun obviously. I know the purchase date is barely a month old but I own 5 of these and purchased some a couple months before.

    Exceeded my expectations. My floodlight was dying after 3 days of usage. Figured I would try the solar panel before running a hard wired line through my narrow attic. Since installing, I haven't seen the camera be anything but fully charged. I don't live in a particularly sunny area either. Solar panel seems worth it if a permanent wiring setup is inconvenient for you.

    I bought this solar panel for my Arlo Ultra 2. It charges very quick on a sunny day and slow on the cloudy day. Now, I don’t have to worry about my Arlo camera is out battery. I love it.

    Works exactly as intended and keeps your cameras supercharged throughout the day and night, never once had to take out and recharge the batteries manually, and has been working excellent for months since my purchase.

    Excellent product. Easy to install. Was charging a camera on a high eave on our house almost weekly. With this panel, the camera stays well charged. Charges less on cloudy days as expected but catches up the next sunny day.

    These are a necessity if you're going to mount these any higher than 10 feet. Very easy to install and the magnetic connector to the camera made for an easy connection. Don't have to worry about changing batteries. Highly recommended!

    These solar panels are perfect for these cameras. I purchased the Arlo Spotlight camera and it only had 50% battery life. Within 3 days, it was completely charged. When I mow the grass, the camera activates every time I get in front of it. It still stays 100% charged with the solar. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

    if you have Arlo cameras at home, just get one of these for every camera. It makes life so much easier no more changing batteries never have to worry about the charge state even in the winter time I have not had a problem with my batteries being charged.

    Great quality and esthetically pleasing right out of the box, connects to camera magnetically for a seemless and solid connection. Both cameras I have used these solar panels with have remained 100 percent charged with no need for battery swapping, this is a great product.

    Bought these for my Arlo cameras and I was very happy with them. Not too difficult to install and they have enough wire to install them so they can be placed elsewhere where the sun does shine. Now I don't have to worry about climbing up and down to install a charged battery.
