Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the long battery life and ease of installation of the Solar Panel - Arlo Pro and Arlo Go Compatible (VMA4600). Many found it easy to use and compatible with their Arlo systems, with the solar panel itself receiving positive feedback for its performance. However, some customers expressed concerns about the product's price and the length of its power cord, while others noted its relatively large size.

    Does exactly what it says. Purchased for someone as a gift so they wouldn't have to keep charging their cam.

    I bought my solar panel at Best Buy in mid May. Unfortunately, we had so much rain that I wasn’t able to install it until a couple of weeks later. On the first day, it seemed to work. The app indicated the camera was charging. The next day, even though it still indicated it was charging, it was Actually draining my battery. By the 3rd day, my battery was dead! I never received any type of error message. It was too late to return it to Best Buy, so I contacted Arlo customer support. They had me jump through so many hoops - changing batteries, changing cameras - that by the time I was done, I spent more time on this than I would have replacing batteries for two years! Finally, they agreed to send me a replacement. Since I did not want to take down the defective panel until I received the new one, I had to pay a significant shipping charge. The new panel finally arrived a few days ago, and I installed it yesterday. Same problem! The battery is down to about 50% - one day later! If I just use the battery, it would take a good month to get this low. Don’t buy this junk - it doesn’t work. I’m not going through the hoops again with Arlo. I’ll just take the $100 loss (cost of the panel, plus shipping). I’ve had a solar panel on one of my Ring cameras for at least 3 years now - and its still working like a charm. I’ve used both systems since they first came out. Ring has never failed me - but I’m done with Arlo.

    If you have a low battery this may not charge it up to a full power mode. It works to keep it full but only in the sunny WARM weather. In cold weather it doesn't do too well.

    Seems to draw more power than generated.

    A plausible reason for the increased power drawl could be due to the firmware. I assume the camera goes to peak setting pulling the most power possible draining the battery quicker. However, even when the camera is not receiving powers from the panel, the camera seems to loss charge much quicker. Plus the panel (during winter) with half days sunlight only charges the camera by 2 to 3%. Which isn’t great when I am losing close to 10% a day. Maybe in the summer time I will have better results. All though, an optimal position for peak sun input is not an option for the location of my camera.
