Certified Accessory | Solar Panel Charger, Weatherproof, 8ft Magnetic Power Cable, Designed for Arlo Ultra, Ultra 2 (+XL), Pro 3, Pro 4 (+XL), Pro 5, Go 2 & Floodlight Cameras, Black

I have quite a few Arlo cameras around the house, and the only gripe I have with them is that they need recharging, not a huge amount but enough to annoy. Anyway I saw the floodlight cameras and thought they looked really great, and I wanted some lights up anyway and thought these would suit, which they do actually, even just on battery they are really bright so I am happy with the purchase, but I knew the battery recharging would be a pain. So I bought 2 of the solar panels to go with them, and I got to say that I am very impressed as the one camera has always remained at 100%, and the other goes up and down depending on how sunny it is. It is vital you position so that the angle is getting as much light directly on it but you can swivel the solar panel all around and it has a fairly long wire as well so it hasn’t got to be right next to the floodlight. Admittedly when I installed the weather has not been too bad, so I can imagine in the winter the drain will probably exceed to solar charging and will need to be topped up, so I bought a magnetic cable for when I will probably need it during those months and you can just remove the magnetic charge cable that comes from the solar panel and stick the outdoor charge cable on until it’s charged. I got the extra cable because the floodlight for charging has a usb inside the camera case and you would need to remove the camera to access this which would be a nuisance and you have to press a button and take the whole thing off the bracket and the camera would not be doing it’s job of security while in the house charging, plus getting ladders etc. I love viewing the cameras and seeing the little lightning through a green battery icon and thinking that it is charging for free and saving me a job. So I do recommend these as very good, although they are a bit expensive but once up they make so much sense, and I may get some for my normal cameras as those ones are a bit cheaper. Hopefully during winter months I won’t have to edit my review, but they seem to charge well in only normal days where the sun actually isn’t fully out and clouds obscure the sun.

Based on some other reviews I was a little sceptical regarding this charger, some were saying that in low light or non sunny positions it wasn't charging well. Bought for a high placed Arlo pro 4 where I didn't relish the idea of battery replacement. I had to position on a west facing wall and so far the result is extremely good. We've had a mixture of Irish weather since fitting over a week ago and the battery came up from 90% to 100% within a couple of hours of connection and has stayed there since. A week is no test of long term longevity, but so far I'm very pleased. Not cheap bought on its own, but I found mine on Amazon in a bundled deal with the pro 4, which I had already decided on. Also meant no requirement for the XL battery upgrade. Even in lieu of a bargain, I still think it would be worth it, if your camera is difficult to access or your camera battery is starting to need changed more often over time?

This is a surprisingly small solar panel, yet it kept my Arlo Pro 3 Outdoor Floodlight Camera (which I guess is the most power-hungry of the Arlo devices) fully charged throughout 2022's sunny summer and autumn. That's hugely impressive, given that the floodlight camera covers the front of my house, with a lot of comings and goings by day and by night. However, after a couple of cloudy rainy weeks around Christmas time, the battery was completely flat. So, it is clear that the solar panel cannot keep a busy floodlight camera charged on anything less than hazy direct sunlight in summer, or full direct sunlight in winter. It's also worth mentioning that, when the floodlight camera detects that it is connected to a solar panel, not the mains, the floodlight only operates at reduced brightness.

Had to charge my camera every 2-3 weeks before I purchased the solar charger, now it keeps at 98% to 100%. I accept it will not give as much charge in the short winter days but I can recommend it, it does what it says on the box!

Very disappointed with this product, sales pitch makes you believe it is going to help keep your battery charged for longer. This is not the case, the battery did not even last for 24 hours, I thought I had a faulty battery so I ordered another and asked for a replacement which was provided, this one did not last either, I have two batteries, one constantly on charge because they don’t last 24 hours. I phoned Arlo about the solar charger to ask if they could change it, they said NO, as I had gone over the 30 day’s return policy. They did not care that I had a product that was not fit for purpose, or that I had spent over £300 on the system, their attitude and response is pathetic.

This solar panel has kept my Arlo 3 fully charged for over a year. Since it is now February and the battery is at 100% charge I am blown away that I don’t need to do anything until something wears out. I live in the south of England (so not the sunniest place in the world but not bad) and the panel is on an east facing wall tilted a bit south and up. The base station is in the room outside which the Arlo camera is mounted so I guess this reduces transmission power needs. I have all the factory settings on so there is an automatic floodlight at night and full detection of movement. This is a perfect “mount and forget” solution with no need to run mains power or climb up a ladder to keep the camera powered.

perfect solution to getting power to my garden camera. I havent needed to charge the battery in it once because of this solar panel, very easy to install and attach

It works well but it’s Too expensive independent suppliers are cheaper and work as well

Panneau solaire qui permet de maintenir la batterie de la caméra chargée. Néanmoins il est nécessaire de charger complètement la caméra car le panneau solaire ne suffit pas en lui même pour la charger complètement. Je suis satisfaite de mon achat car j’en avais marre de devoir recharger aléatoirement ma caméra qui selon la météo, les mouvements captés pouvait se décharger en quelques jours à peine. Compatible avec la Caméra Arlo Pro5S

Piccolo, originale, black è anche elegante da vedere. Funziona perfettamente, facilissimo da installare al muro, arriva corredato delle sue viti per l’installazione. L’accessorio non serve per ricaricare la cam Arlo, ma per mantenere la carica. Io l’ho collegato con la cam completamente carica, ed a distanza di tempo risulta perfettamente carica al 100%. Consigliato vivamente per chi possiede le cam arlo. Inutile gironzolare su prodotti paralleli…ne ho presi due compatibili prima di questo e sono durati praticamente niente! L’originale Arlo si percepisce già la qualità del prodotto al tatto. Ed il magnete del connettore si aggancia alla perfezione alla cam. Cavo abbastanza lungo per facilitare l’installazione. Pienamente soddisfatto.

Fungerar riktigt bra. Fullt kompatibel med min arlo pro 3 kamera. Håller den vid liv även vid inte helt optimala ljusförhållanden. Enda som den kunde ha är något längre kabel. Men det är för att jag hade velat ha den ganska långt från kameran för att få optimal mängd sol.

しっかり充電されてます。 お得な買い物でした！

Next to useless. “Charges” our Arlo 4K Ultra security camera which runs flat after 3 days without it, not the advertised 3-6 months. With the solar panel make that 5 days. This is with the camera in “Optimized” setting.
