These are great and I have them on several outdoor stick-up cams. They keep the battery fully charged and they are less expensive than the Ring brand. Save yourself the time and headache, this is a must have for outdoor Ring devices.

It keeps my camera charged with no problem.
Mounting it was easy, just 2 screws. The one in the rear of my house is where I have an issue with the mount. It won't twist around enough to get the most sun possible. It still charges the camera but it doesn't get direct sunlight.

This is my second time purchasing these panels, first ones were installed about 5-6 month ago and have worked great so I decided to go ahead and set up the rest of the cameras with the solar panel. It’s a great investment, save me a lot of time and I don’t have to be worried about remembering to charge the batteries manually. They have worked great so far.

I recently purchased the Wasserstein Solar Panel (2-pack) for my Ring Spotlight and Ring Stick Up Surveillance Cameras. Though I had to return them due to the specific shade conditions around my home, I am still compelled to leave a glowing review based on the product's intrinsic merits.
Sleek Design & Build: Right out of the box, it’s evident that these panels are built with precision and care. Their sleek design not only complements the aesthetics of the Ring cameras but also ensures they don't stand out obtrusively when installed.
Efficient Energy Conversion: On days when I was able to test the solar panels in good sunlight, they delivered impressive performance. The efficiency of energy conversion meant that even on less-than-sunny days, the panels were able to capture and convert sufficient energy to power the cameras.
Easy Installation: I'm no handyman, but the installation process was straightforward. The kit came with all the necessary tools, and the instruction manual was easy to follow. This made the setup process smooth and hassle-free.
Economical & Eco-friendly: Over time, these panels can lead to significant savings. Instead of continually purchasing and replacing batteries, the solar panels provide a one-time solution that harnesses renewable energy. It’s not just friendly on the wallet, but also on the environment.
Responsive Customer Service: After realizing the shade issue around my home, I reached out to Wasserstein's customer service. They were understanding, provided potential solutions, and made the return process seamless. It’s rare to find a company that stands so firmly behind its products.
In conclusion, while my personal circumstances meant I couldn't continue using the Wasserstein Solar Panel for my Ring Cameras, I believe they are a top-tier choice for anyone looking to harness solar energy for their surveillance needs. If your property has a good amount of sunlight, I'd wholeheartedly recommend giving these panels a shot. They’re a testament to how green technology can be seamlessly integrated into our daily lives, all while offering stellar performance.

I had these solar panels installed on my security cameras in the back of my house. They are working great and now I don't have to have someone come and replace the batteries.

This solar panel is doing a good job keeping my stick up camera charged. I live on acreage in a rural area with a long driveway and have this installed on a power pole as far out as I can while still having wifi. There is no power plug nearby and with high driveway traffic the rechargeable battery went dead quickly and charging was a pain in the butt. I have not had to charge it once since adding this solar panel! It keeps the battery above 80% all the time, and usually at or close to 100%. Very happy with it!

I recently purchased 2 Ring Certified Refurbished Stick up wireless cameras and although the batteries last a long while between charges (weather and how you set them up will use +/- battery) I decided I wanted a solar panel for one camera that was going to be placed in a hard to reach location. I ordered the Wasserstein Solar Panel and besides arriving very quickly it was a treat opening the box and seeing how this would work.
It was packed very well and suffered no damage, the initial thought looking at the panel was that a layer of plastic had been put over it to avoid damage. I looked closer and nothing was there so ensure to remind yourself if you order one of these to not try and peel off the coating over the glass panel...
Everything was there to use to set it up and affix it to a location where the approximately 16-18 foot cable would be safe, hidden and able to plug into the camera. I ended up fabricating a wooden strip that I screwed under the eave of my roof and left just enough sticking out to mount the solar panel stand. Depending on how and where you mount it, secure the base first with the 2 enclosed screws, the panel slides over a locking pad and you can then adjust the skew and catch the best rays.
This solar panel is FAST when the afternoon sun hits it! Mine catches the afternoon rays BUT because the panel will charge even under diminished lighting from clouds or low light (I imagine), that it even gets the battery charging in the morning.
Plastic, glass and wires but well worth purchasing if you have or want a battery/wireless Ring stick up cam or spotlight cam... It's weatherproof and I expect it to last me a very long time but still I may purchase another just in case...

The solar panel doesn’t have to be the same brand as your camera as long as it connects. Love that this also came in a two pack! Just make sure your ring battery is fully charged first and then the solar panel does a great job in keeping it topped up. Do not try to go in with a half empty battery or something expecting the solar panel to charge it up. It’s not how that works! We went in with a full battery, connected and put up the little solar panel. It’s literally been 3 years at this point. We’ve never had to recharge the battery, it’s always being topped off by the solar panel. Granted I live in a state where it’s mostly sunshine. YMMV if you live in a place with much longer winters and less sun but it’ll still be great. You’ll definitely still have to charge it less than if you didn’t do the solar panel (unless you straight up wire it to your house). This solar panel works perfectly and costs less than the brand name. So worth it. The newer cameras did change their charging port to be USB-C so you’ll need to pick up an adapter. It’s very cheap and all that combined this is STILL cheaper than the brand name version of the solar panels!

Solid product that gets the job done! These are priced very reasonably in comparison to other solar panels (for example the Ring brand ones). I have a Ring brand solar panel for the doorbell and use these for the Ring cameras and I notice no difference. So this is a great substitute, does the same job at a greater value. Highly recommend.

I've bought 8 of these Solar Panels for my battery powered Ring cameras and spotlights. Changing each battery on all 12 of my cameras were beginning to much to much work for what it was worth. These Solar Panels are a life savor! All my cameras stay 100% fully charged 24/7/365. No more climbing up ladders to change the batteries. Also, they cost much less than the actual Ring brand Solar Panels and work just as good or better. I highly recommend these!

I was tired of about every 2.5-3 months of having to charge my camera so i got this and not anymore. it is a little slow on charging but if your camera isn't taking a lot of video it keeps up just fine. just find a good place with at least a half day in the sun and just fine .

I bought these solar panel chargers for my ring stick up cameras and it saves me from climbing on my ladder to change the battery. The quality is great and I'd definitely recommend this product.

I’ve had these for over a year now and they’re still going strong. Haven’t had any problem with them so far. They were very easy and straightforward to install. Perfect if you don’t want to constantly be breaking out the ladder to change out batteries. I would recommend wiping down the panels maybe a couple times a year to get remove dust and other buildup.

I bought these months ago to power up two Ring stick-up cameras for outdoors, which otherwise require taking out the batteries and charging every few weeks. Attaching them to the cameras and mounting them on the side of my house was easy. I found spots where the sun hits them directly for several hours a day and have not been below 97% of a full charge since. Definitely pleased with the purchase.
