Solar Panel Charger is easy to mount and keeps camera charged at 100%. It also has a great swivel mount which makes pointing in proper direction very easy.

I got this to go with my Arlo flood light / camera combo. Easy to set-up and does a great job of keeping the charge up so I don't have to take the unit down requiring a ladder and a climb. Mount, plug and play that's it.

They work great, when they work. I've had two that didn't work out of the box for my Arlo Ultra cameras. Make sure you test them before you waste time mounting. I would recommend hooking it up to a camera and setting the panel in sunlight for an hour or so to make sure the camera is charging. You can monitor charging status through the Arlo app.
IMHO, these are way over priced. I don't believe there are any solar alternatives for the Arlo Ultra cameras, which is unfortunate.

Bought these to compliment my Arlo Pro 3’s and it has made my life so much easier! No more pulling out extension cord to charge my cameras, now they get charged up to full capacity everyday! Definitely recommend!

Arlo has outstanding battery life with their normal camera. The Solar Panel gives you the peace of mind not having to charge at any time. My only concern is the arm could use a bit more reinforcement.

Simple installation! This solar panel holds the charge even on cloudy days. On sunny days it charges to 100% very fast. They are lightweight and nice looking. Love not having to use ladder to charge battery

Charges my Arlo Security Floodlight Perfect!

I bouth the Solar Panel to go along with the Arlo Security Floodlight since I mounted the floodlight at the top of my garage and there is no outlet nearby to charge it. I connected the Solar Panel to the Floodlight and it keeps the Floodlight fully charged for when it gets used during the evening hours.
During the day, the Floodlight gets charged to 100% all the time!
I highly recommend this product to anyone with an Arlo camera that doesn't have an outlet nearly to charge the cameras, or is on a spot that is not easily accessible to take to down to charge.

So far, works really well while mounted in a semi shaded area. It would of been a real challenge to get the camera perspective without the solar panel. Worth it for low maintenance flexibility.

We purchased 2 of the solar panels just short of a month ago. Easy to install. We live in the Northeast and even with all the snowy, cloudy days they are working like they should.

This solar panel has worked great so far and allows us to keep our cameras fully charged without needing to climb up and pull the cameras down to charge. Very easy to install as well, highly recommend!

These solar panels are a blessing. No more need to charge the batteries in the Arlo Ultra 2 4K cameras. This allowed mounting the cameras in a high location on my house.

So this came as part of a package deal Best Buy had and I have to say, it's very helpful! One thing to look out for though is to make sure you mount this in as direct sun as you can. I have 2 solar panels. One in my back which faces the sun directly and another that's mounted on the side of my house. The one in direct sun charges 100% most times (unless it's cloudy out), the other one .. not so much. I've noticed it charges very slowly and rarely to 100% but still, nice that it's being charged! I do recommend this

Bought this a couple of weeks ago to charge one of my cameras. Was skeptical at first as some of the reviews stated how the panel could not keep up with the charging needs. I first installed the panel on the South West portion of my house and it would not charge at all as it was not getting much sun. I moved it to the sunny part of my roof and it began to charge. When it first started charging the battery was at 66% charge. As of today (6 days) the camera is at 100%. This is with the camera on the most power consuming settings and 2 days of cloudiness. I am very satisfied with the purchase and my only advise is to make sure the panel is in the sun.

I bought two of these, and I haven't had to wall-charge my Arlos since I got these. Granted I have them pointed to places that don't have too much motion.
Notes:
* I live in NYC, so it's not particularly sunny or cloudy here, but throughout the summer and fall months that I've had them, they've stayed above 90%.
* I wish the cameras worked as well as these. The camera software is terrible.
* I docked 1 star because I'm not sure if the ability to keep full battery is due to the solar panel working exceptionally, or if it's due to the faulty camera software preventing the camera from turning on as often, thus using significantly less battery.

I really like these...super easy to install and never have to worry about charging batteries. It allowed me to mount my cameras very high so I get a wider angle.
