Life saver for Arlo users
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Easy to set up and install. Works well to keep our cameras charged without having to climb a ladder, pull the camera, charge the battery, replace the camera, try to get it oriented correctly again, etc. Very hands off once it is set up. This took care of our main gripe with our Arlo cameras, as the batteries discharge more and more rapidly after a couple of extreme temp seasons.

Good for maintaining battery level
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Full disclosure: I live in a fairly wooded lot without a ton of direct sunlight. These works surprisingly well. I installed 2 of these on my cameras. The first was installed with a fully charge battery and the other way installed on a camera with a battery with 15% left. The fully charged battery is staying at 100% even with activity. The other camera stays pretty much around the 15% mark. That is my experience with these. Use them to maintain the charge, not to actually charge a battery. Unless you are going on vacation for a week these will never charge a dead battery.

Solar is a must!
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

saves charging camera batteries
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Arlo Solar mounted charger keeps you from getting on a ladder to recharge your batteries for the cameras, especially if you are in a community with a lot of cars passing your home because the batteries won't last as long with high activity. I have 3 cameras with a solar charger on each.

Works Better than Expected
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is great with the Arlo camera! There are other reviews that say it doesn't charge the camera and only maintains the battery life, so I wasn't expecting a lot from them. I had two solar panels installed with the cameras a few days ago. At the time one of my cameras was at 50% battery. The other was already at 100%. Now they are both at 100%. It did take a few days to get the one to 100%, but it eventually did. The solar panel is on a very sunny side of my house and there isn't a lot of activity there, so the camera doesn't use a lot of battery. But it's nice to know that the battery will get charged by the solar panel.

Great investment and saves time.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was very hesitant to purchase solar panels. I just had my doubts that they would work. After deciding that I did not want to climb on ladders to switch out batteries I decided to try them. What a great decision. I have a 3 camera ultra system plus a floodlight for the driveway. I only bought 3 solar panels even though I had four cameras total. After almost three weeks of use all three cameras with a solar panel are 100% charged. The lone camera that does not have a solar panel was around 79%. I have since been back to the store and purchased a fourth panel for my last camera. I highly recommend trying them.

They work
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is a great for your outdoor cameras. We had to add a couple cameras outside due to issues in the neighborhood. I put these up with them and have never had an issue with needing to charge the batteries. I prefer using OEM pars and I don’t regret the extra cost on these. The cameras have never missed anything due to a dead battery.

Tricky Setup
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall theyre not bad. They are a little difficult to position since the base has a screw lock mechanism, and will rotate with the panels base mechanism. After ser up, they pretty much keep the battery charged throughout the day. Note. Battery life and charge does vary on settings and daylight. Doesnt necessarily need direct sunlight to charge.

Arlo is the Best
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had a great experience with the Arlo solar panel. I paid to have Best Buy handle the installation, and they did an excellent job. The solar panel has been charging my security system consistently with no issues even two years later.

Great option to recharging batteries
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So much easier than recharging the batteries once you mount the cameras. The cord is not too long so make sure you can mount the solar panels near to the camera.

Great Arlo Solar Panel

It's Pretty Much A Necessity
|Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Solar panels for your Arlo pretty much are a must if you're going to put them high up and in a spot that's hard to replace the battery with. I definitely would recommend it as it's essential to getting the most out of an Arlo. Additionally the amount of power you get out of it is honestly, shocking, given how small the solar panel is. Definitely impressed.
