No More Ladders....
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Just what I needed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

perfect for mounting the camera out of reach
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Solar Charger
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Even better than I expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great Arlo Solar Panel
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great panel
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Perfect Addition To The Arlo Camera
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Absolutely works like it says
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Helpful
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Solar panels for Arlington cameras
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Helps when the sun is out because battery doesn’t have to be replaced so often as in the winter months.

Arlo solar panel used with 2 Pro 5s cams.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great solution highly recommend
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
