Keeps the cameras alive a bit longer. Provides a trickle charge but it’s better than having to take the cameras down and charging them often.

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my mother since she uses Arlo Cameras. Unfortunatly it did not fit the modles she currently had, as they accepted different cords than the solar charger. But after getting the correct camera model, this solar charger has worked great, or so I have been told!
