    Pleasantly surprised. The material it was made of seemed a little flimsy. i quickly learned not to judge it by its looks. It is a great item! Well worth it. No issues. It keeps my camera on at .99% battery at all times. And it will warn me if it goes lower than that. We placed it where we felt the sun would hit it nicely.

    Easy solar panel to install on the Arlo Essential securty camera, install the solar panel in a very sunny area near the security camera and plug it in. At first the panel charge the camera while its getting sun, but as soon the sun its gone, it slightly discharged my camera. This solar panel only keep my camera charge between 70/60 %, not even on a fully sunny day this penel will fully charge my camera, but at least it’s affordable and it chwrgd a little bit.

    I love these little things! First of all, they’re so easy to install anybody can do it! The best thing about these solar panels is that I do not have to take down the camera to recharge it when the battery dies! Also love the fact that I now get to set the video setting to BEST quality as I do t need to worry about battery charge! properly placed, these little babies will keep your camera at 100% most of the time. At night time, even if you use them quite a bit, they rarely go down past 95%. I have nine cameras, of which I use seven on these solar panels. The other two are in a garage and the front door where there is no place to put the solar panel, but dealing with two cameras compared to nine is wonderful. Love the price on this as it’s $40 or less usually, and worth every single penny! Some of these I’ve had for over a year pushing two and still not one problem. Go get these immediately especially for the essential due to the flood light. Those drain the battery quite quickly if you don’t have the Solar Panel.

    Arlo cameras stay charged 24/7

    I purchased 3 of these for my Arlo cameras to prevent having to recharge them when the battery runs down. They are easy to mount with a drill and screwdriver, adjust to various angles and have a long chord to run the solar panel for about 30 feet. Two of them are in direct light and the 3rd is in subdued light, but all keep my cameras charged. It is nice not to worry about them running down and not being charged when we are on vacation. The whole point is to depend on them working even when you are not home.

    I've purchased Wasserstein products in the past so I figured I'd give their solar panel a try. I'm not disappointed. It's very easy to mount on my chimney. It charges as it should. From all the panels I've been researching, I particularly love the 13' cable length which suited my particular need.

    This has worked perfectly for my Arlo camera. I don’t want to have to climb up a ladder to charge the battery. Easy to install as well & hook up. Great option.

    It has worked well for me so far. As long as you locate it where it gets good amount of sunlight, you should be good. It took about 3 days to fully charge. I'm hoping the charging will be faster in the summer
