I was putting in new Arlo cameras at a house in Peoria, AZ and there was no close outlets. I picked up 2 solar charging panels and connected them to the cameras. I made sure the batteries were charged as instructed before connecting to the solar panels. The batteries have remained fully charged since then even though there have been a few overcast and cloudy days.

Tiny and powerful. Arlo ultra 2 hasn’t dropped below 100% since adding this panel. Smaller than a shoe box, and easy to mount. Have mine mounted in NC, with west side of sky obstructed, clear line of sight towards East->south direction only and that is more than enough.

Put these on our cameras a handful of days ago! So far so good. Thought they would charge a little faster than what they do but they are keeping the batteries chargef.

I bought this because I needed a panel for my fourth Arlo camera. I had already ordered a three pack of Wasserstein panels from Amazon. As it turned out, my local Best Buy had a single Arlo-branded panel so I figured I would try it out to compare the expensive Arlo panel with the cheaper Wasserstein units.
So far, as far as performance, the two types of panels are dead even. The camera batteries are full every day there's enough sun to produce electricity.
The only real test will be to see if one panel lasts longer than the other.
So at least for now, I'd say the $50 Arlo panels are not worth the extra $15 over the Wasserstein panels I got for less than $30 each. Save your money.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Your feedback is much appreciated and it will be shared with the appropriate team for review.

The Arlo brand solar panel is sleek and easy to install it takes a lot of work out of having to run electric or getting the ladder to charge batteries. It allows you to maximize the cameras ability by keeping the battery charged. It works during over cast days just not as well

I am absolutely amazed at how great these work. Easy to install and always reliable. These are important characteristics for an older couple such as ourselves.

Super easy to mount. The floodlight was completely dead and with the solar charger connect to it on a foggy day it was able to withdraw some sunlight to charge the light up to 60% by the end of the day. Definitely recommend

If you have Arlo Ultra cameras this is a must! When I first purchased my cameras I would have to recharge them with a cable. Using these solar panels they stay charged and I don't have to worry about them. Very sturdy, well made product. Easy to install.

Good hardware, simple installation. I have inly been isong these for about three montht so far, all I can report is that if they usually keep the cameras’ batteries topped up, if there are a few cloudy days in a row, sometimes the batteries charge will fall below a point where the solar panel cannot brng them up again. None of my mounting locations havenfull sun all day long. It would be nice if Arlo made an extension cord of some kind for this product.

I installed this to power our backyard camera which gets a lot of use due to plants swaying in the breeze, animals, etc. It works great! It keeps the battery charged up and I don't anticipate having to swap out the battery anytime soon. I've noticed that the battery sometimes gets down into the 80% range at night but if it's a sunny day, the charger will get the battery back up into the 90% range and sometimes 100%.
It's important to make sure the panel is placed where it can get sun most of the day. I placed mine facing southwest.

These solar panels make the security cameras so much better. The app on my phone lets me know how charged they are (each camera and solar panel) and we don't have to worry about charging them up. Makes our life easier! Easy to install!
