    Terrible product that drains the camera battery within 7 hours. I have two Arlo Essential cameras and the same problem occurred with both. I had Geek Squad out and no help. Worked with Arlo support and no help. Best Buy accepted the return no questions asked. The Arlo essential cameras last weeks by themselves versus 7 hours with a solar panel attached. Go figure.

    The solar panel is useless. Hardly ever works because the unit gets “overheated” if you can believe that. A solar panel overheated. Umm, ok. What a joke.

    Never got the product. Ordered thru Best Buy. Some carrier delivery driver said they were sent to pick up packed but it was not there. “Was missing” was the correct word choice.

    It worked great for the first couple days. Even at trickle charge. But after a few days it stopped charging at all. I went outside to make sure it was still plugged in and it was. Pretty disappointing. I will be returning them.

    Complete waste of money. Charging turns on and off intermittently and the end result is essentially the sqme battery life. All the other reviews are misleading
