1 works great, the other doesnt work at all That’s it

Does not work we left it out on the sun for 4 days than we plugged it in to the camera and still nothing. We still have to change the battery all the time.

1: Purchased the original item just a bit over a year ago when this solar panel failed to send my camera a charge. Of course it was just out of warranty. 2: I ordered a replacement for my Arlo Pro 2. I was sent a solar panel for the Pro 3. Of course this panel could not be connected to my Pro 2. 3: So I returned it. I was then sent another Pro 3 panel as a replacement. Still the wrong panel. 4: While returning this panel I was told Arlo no longer makes accessories for the Pro 2 and I would have to go after market. Now the 10 days of wait start yet again. Hopefully this one will be correct.

I bought one in July 2020, today is April 2021; does not charge since one month ago; cleaned, even change battery....piece of crap for that price...

I was so excited to install the solar power panel and connect to my Arlo cameras and to not have to keep switching out the batteries every so often. But once I installed and connected the panel to the camera it actually didn’t charge my cameras at all. It did the opposite. It did not charge and the solar panel drained my battery. I unhooked it and now I have to constantly change out the batteries every 3-4 days. I had a perfectly good working Arlo that I can go a week or so without Having to lug my ladder out and replace the battery to now having to change out the battery every 3-4 days!

So I charge my camera to 100% using outlet and then I connected solar charger. For the first 3 days it kept it at 95% and it would charge it back to 100%. But, for the last week it just keeps going down. Started at 100 (charged it using outlet). Connected solar charger and this are the results. Next day 70%, next day 40% So basically it's charging but % doesn't go up it's like when you used to use your phone while charging and it would drain instead of charge it. I'm going to exchange it and if it doesn't work, I'll return it.

Stopped working and would not charge device. Not sure why. Faulty product. Ordered a replacement from Amazon n it works great. Best Buy didn’t have anymore in stock

This item charges the camera but it is slow so the input is slower than the output of energy so the camera would die and be gone so the panel would be useless

Will not keep the battery fully charged in a high traffic area or in cold outside temperatures below freezing. (So much for winters in New England.)

This was a pain to install and I stopped after one. Wouldn’t be bad if you have siding but hanging out a window into cinderblick is hard!

I bought this solar panel in hopes that I could charge the battery with ease but that was not the case, I followed the directions, made sure that there was no blockage and direct sunlight and still it would not keep my battery charged, would not recommend!

Let me tell you the solar charger option is not what you want… makes for a long winter with little camera coverage.

Already broke after 1 year of use. I have to replace it again

Very slow charge. Some time not working at all. Must re-set every single time. Must get direct sun light to charge.

Does not keep battery charge in shady area! Still have three to install! Going to buy battery charger!

Cameras and solar has done everything besides work as expected

Very displeased that they only worked for a little over 1 year

Even though it was purchased new and installed as instructed, it won't charge the camera!

This product does not charge our Arlo Ultra. At best, it slows down the the battery discharge. We had to buy a two battery charger and extra batteries to rotate in our camera once every ten days. This is with the solar charger plugged in.

The solar panel drains the camera battery. I’ve looked at some discussion pages and noticed that this is a common problem. I charge the battery and within two days of hooking the solar panel the camera battery is drained.
