Wasserstein Solar Panel Compatible with Ring Spotlight Cam Battery, Ring Stick Up Cam Battery & Reolink Argus Pro - Power Your Ring Surveillance Camera continuously with 2W 5V Charging (1-Pack, Black)

We ultimately decided to go with a Ring spotlight battery camera and mount it high in a tree (15ft up) to obtain a better viewing angle and to ensure that it stays safe. After a few days of hanging it on the tree facing the house, I discovered that the battery was down to 80%. After getting a second battery, I didn't relish the idea of having to climb up and down a ladder to charge the batteries, so I decided to try an In addition to the solar panel, the ring spotlight's batteries are kept The battery has not dropped below 90% during the day, even during heavy traffic, linked recording, HDR, etc. The other battery is not even used and remains at 100% always, despite heavy traffic, linked recording, HDR, etc. I can see both batteries are fully charged by dusk, after the afternoon sun had shone on that side of the tree where I have the solar panels. Even when I first placed the solar panel in indirect sunlight, it still managed to charge the batteries although not adequately to keep both batteries at 100%. Now the panel is in direct sunlight, but even in indirect sunlight it still managed to charge the batteries. It is a 13 meter cable, which is 4 meters long. The length of the snake is 1 foot. Although I was unsure of how far away from the camera I would need to position the solar panel, it turned out I only needed a foot and a half. So I simply ziptied the solar panel bundle and hid it behind the camera. To ensure that the cable stayed flat against the tree, I stapled it to the trunk. It is hoped that this solar panel will remain reliable, but so far, I am happy with my The solar panels on the Ring spotlight no longer charge the batteries after several months of installing them in a tree. I should have foreseen this, but I noticed it a few months after I installed the lights. When I got to the tree and investigated, he discovered that the wire connecting the panel to the back had been chewed through, most likely We took the panel down, soldered the connections back together, and then wrapped the solder joint with thick shrink wrap. I encased the wire in 1/2" plastic loom wrap that you can get anywhere that sells automobiles. It has been back up for several months since the repair, and the squirrels have so far not bothered it anymore, and the solar panel is charging the batteries positively again. A quick update **7/16/2020************** Yesterday I checked and both batteries in the Ring camera are at 100% charge. Early in the spring, I eliminated some branches from the way and slightly repositioned the panel to receive more direct sunlight, which has made a significant difference. We inspected the wires and found that the plastic wire loom has so far protected them from squirrel damage.

My first thought was that I'd have to exchange the item. I experienced a drop in battery level every day for the first two days. Now it has increased from 20% to 43% on the morning of day 3! Quite pleased with how well it works, there is a lot of traffic where it is placed and the regular battery only lasts 7 hours on a single charge The installation took 4 months, as the rings people said) but was very easy. It took me longer to get my ladder out and set it up I am very satisfied with the quality of this product, and I would like to buy more if I ever get another camera! A recent update Well, a couple months have passed and the charger is no longer Since I still have 3 months left on the purchase, I hope I can get a replacement and have better luck with it then. Up until last week, I had no problems.

It is easy to install and connect. It is similar to the original Ring solar panel in looks and function. Easy to install hardware and clear instructions included. There is a lot of cord length to make it easier to locate. As long as I installed it reasonably close to my camera, I was fine. I have been happy with its performance so far. It took me two batteries to install two batteries into At the time of connecting the panel, one was at 100% and the other was at 90%. Even with cloudy weather in the Pacific Northwest, the batteries were fully charged after 4 days, and there has been no loss of battery power since. Highly recommended.

As we found that the batteries on the Ring Camera could drain quickly when there is a lot of traffic, we purchased this. set up 3 different cameras around our house, so we decided to buy 2 of the Wasserstein solar panels and give them a test drive. The roof overhang of our house made it necessary for us to install the first unit on the roof. It was a fairly easy installation. There was only 1 battery in the Camera at that time, and it was 81% charged. With the solar panel, it was also possible for the battery to be fully charged by the end of day, although it was a dull gloomy day with limited sunlight. There's one more to install, but a nice day will be better for that. It is likely we will have to buy another camera for the last one.

The Ring Stick Up Battery Camera is mounted on the roof of the house I live in It is inconvenient to change batteries when the device hangs. It seems that the battery discharges at a steady rate of about 3 percent per day after I put the camera up. Despite my best efforts, I did not install the solar panel in optimal A lot of trees provide shade to the solar panel, but it does get some direct sunlight from around It will be very shady between 00 PM and sundown. For two days following installation, the battery discharge was zero. After two days of very cloudy weather, the charge began to increase. In order to measure how well the charging is working, I need some bright, sunny days. Plastic is used in the construction of the entire unit, so it should be handled with caution. There is only one mounting screw provided for attaching the bracket. 360 degrees of rotation will be possible with the mounting bracket. Slide the panel onto the framework and it will raise and lower as it is mounted. Upon installation of the solar panel, the power cord is permanently fixed to the back of the panel and has a power connector at the other end that connects to the back of the According to the cord, it is approximately 13 feet in length. It is necessary to remove the three piece gasket from the Ring Camera power connector, otherwise the solar panel connector will not be able to make a good electrical connection to the Ring Camera. If the two screws on the power connector are tightening up into the body of your camera, it indicates you have a good connection. Ensure that the screws are tightly fitted. If they are difficult to turn, you did it wrong. It probably didn't take longer than 30 minutes in general to In finding a location where the homeowners association would not complain about the panel, the most challenging part was finding a solution. There are a few small panels on the panel, and they can be easily hidden.
