Just put these up today. I ended up having to get gutter mounts on Amazon. Easy installation. Used a staple gun to hold wires down. Caution! Staple, pull out with a flat head, put back with cord gently.

Easy to set up and works great! You do need full sun to keep the camera charged up enough. I've only had one week where is didn't charge enough and I had to take it down and charge it inside. I'm going to buy another one for our camera in the back. Highly recommend.

This was a smart choice. I can charge my cameras with worry using these solar panels. When I am away I do not worry about accessing my on site cameras. It was easy to install with some skill needed to climb a latter.

Not sure if the plastic will hold up in the Arizona sun, however, so far, it works as described and based upon the initial reviews I sourced before making a purchase decision.

No more charging! Charging works well in the summer, but not as well when it's snow-covered. :)

Does not work with Arlo Pro contrary to what the advertisement on the box and online states.
I bought two in December 2021 and just installed the first one.
Not only is it not charging but also gives messages in the Arlo app about not being compatible and not charging.
When the temp is around 40 degrees F or lower it says it is too cold to charge. It is installed facing the sun with no obstructions.
I have an original Arlo solar panel which works well even in cold weather and never a problem. Cannot find new ones now.
If you have an Arlo Pro beware and do not purchase this one.
I expected more from the way it was advertised and constructed.

Hi,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the product, and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. We’re here to assist you with your concern. It seems like this is an Arlo Camera firmware issue. They detect and disable the 3rd party-branded charger occasionally. The known solution to it will be disconnecting the charging cable and reconnecting again. Try to press in firmly when doing this. If this did not help, please get in touch with us via email at [email protected], and we will resolve the issue.
Best regards, Your Wasserstein Customer Success Team

This did exactly what they said it would do, easy to install, only problem I had was it would give me a NO charging alert and i would have to replug it back in 3 times that happened but only 1 of my 3, now everything Is working fine! I would recommend this for anyone buying Arlo Pro.

I'm using this solar panel to operate my camera. It keeps the battery 98-100% charged all of the time. It works even on partially cloudy days. It certainly beats climbing a ladder to take the cameras down to recharge them.

Ordered this solar panel for our new Arlo Pro 2 cameras. Like the size, not too large but definitely continues to charge the camera. Do see slight diff in cloudy days vs sunny but that’s expected. Haven’t gone through a rainy winter yet.

I bought these solar chargers only because my Arlo Pro 2 solar charger works so well, but was no longer available to order new. I bought three of the Wasserstein Pro 2 chargers. The first one didn't seem to charge the camera battery at all. The second seems to help the battery remain charged, but there is a drain and I eventually have to charge the battery. I haven't tried the third. By comparison (using the same sunlight) my Arlo brand charger brings my camera up to 100% charge with only about 3 hrs of sun.

I bought two of these and I’m very happy and satisfied with it. Now I don’t have to put my cameras on charge again and again, it’s a complete rest of mind just attached it to the camera and forget. No hassle no worries.Easy to connect.

I like the fact that it’s inexpensive but I can’t tell if my camera is defective or not but it’s alright but other than that this brand is good, just the location where I live isn’t sunny

Purchased on sale in January. Opened up when the warm weather came and item doesn't work. Can't return. I wound up trying to buy another one and although it did set up initially and it powered on, we are now getting messages that the charger is incompatible with the arlo cameras- which this is supposed to be for as the box indicates. Don't waste your time and money with this one.

Bought two of these Solar Panels and was very disappointed with them. Checked the Arlo app on the first one and it indicated that there was no charging at all. Tried two other cameras with this solar panel and both came up with the same result. The other solar panel did indicate it was charging but in two days I lost 10% of my charge. Email Wasserstein with my issues but they told me I had done everything correct and it must be an issue with the app. They told me Arlo does not want third party charges on their cameras. Why sell them if they are not going to work. Returned both back to Best Buy. I
usually don't give bad reviews but I felt that I have to let other people know about this. Please do not buy.

Works great with my Arlo 2 camera. The 90 degreed angled plug for the camera made it a bit challenging to plug in with the camera mounted.
