Okay, like others...I didn't want to keep getting on my ladder. I have 2 cameras at the front of my house, and even with my motion turned down, they pick up every movement. Also, my flag is close to one of them. SO. I got these, and WOW...I was upset at first. BUT, I decided to charge my cameras to 100%, and then use these. At first, they were not charging at all....but after getting some sun, they did it. I waited a least 3 days before posting this review, as I thought I was gonna return them. But I'm good now, they charge when the sun hits them...and keep the cameras at about 95% or above through the night with no sun. During the day, they are at least 98% or 100% all day. I save big time, and I'm glad I got these instead of the more expensive ones a
Arlo sells. I have the Arlo 2, 3, and 4. It works with them all. The front door is the Arlo 2, the garage is the Arlo 4. No issues with these right now, and I'm hoping they hold up for some years to come. The only con I could say is the plastic build, it's gonna hold up...but it needed to be harder.

Bought a 3 pack. The first two worked well enough. The third took the power from 22 to 80 in one day. It’s better if you face them toward a spot where the sun is always shinning. The first two I have where the sun shines on them a few hours of the day. The third I angled so that it’s getting rays from sunrise to sunset. I have no doubt the other 2 will be just fine when spring comes. I used the mount for one and gutter mounts for the other 2.

Garbage Mounts

The mounts are brittle plastic garbage. The screws they provide are the thinnest crappiest softest metal and will strip out in a heartbeat.

These panels do a good job so far. I use them on my Arlo Pro 3 cameras. Only had a few weeks but it keeps my Arlo camera charged between 90 and 100 per cent all the time. Easy install and application. So far so good.

The panels work really well. I did have some difficulty installing one for peak solar efficiency - one more adjustable axis would have helped, but after some head scratching and remounting on other surface (90 degree change) I got it.

These work great! The only drawback is my dog triggers my cameras so much, sometimes the solar charging can't keep up. Otherwise, I have no complaints.

I love this as when there is enough sun I don’t have to be charging the batteries all the time. I have very active cameras and it saves me a lot of time!!

I was a little skeptical getting a brand that wasn’t Arlo but these are awesome! We have had them up for 5 months now and our camera has stayed at 100%!

These don't work under 32 degrees Fahrenheit which in Maine is about a third of the year. Also if you are trying to use these with an Arlo camera you can't purchase a continuous recording plan oh, the cameras have to be plugged in to AC power for that.

Hi,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the product and we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Sudden changes in temperature may affect your Solar Panel’s charging abilities. However, please check on the following and see if any of this will help resolve the problem: 1. The USB charging cable is snugly connected to your camera. 2. The batteries have been fully charged to 100% before being connected to the solar panel. 3. Please take note that the Solar Panel is designed to keep your camera’s battery fully charged but heavy usage of your camera can drain the camera battery faster than the solar panel can recharge it. If none of these helped, please get in touch with us via email at [email protected] and we will resolve the issue.
Best regards, Your Wasserstein Customer Success Team
