StartVision Solar Panel for Security Camera,5V 3.5W Solar Panel with Micro USB & USB-C Port, Continuously Power for Rechargeable Battery Camera,IP65 Waterproof,with 9.8ft Charging Cable

These keep my outdoor surveillance cameras at 100% charge throughout the year. They are easy to mount and are a great value for the price. The only downside is the cord length is a little shorter than I’d like.

I've got three of them, I needed one more.They keep everything charge up.

Very disappointed. did not work right out of box. The micro USB to usb-c adaptor is cheap and flimsy and doesn't connect. Tried multiple devices and it just doesn't get a good connection.

This is a solar 5v USB charger. When in the sun, it will charge any USB chargeable item I have (BT headset, Kindle, etc). The solar charger for my Ring camera (note: NOT doorbell) stopped working so I was bringing the camera indoors for an overnight charge using a 1 amp USB charger. It's a big battery so it takes a while to charge. Using this StartVision panel, I simply plugged it in to the camera and set the rubber weather seal included and it keeps my Ring camera charged up to 100% always. The only negative is the shorter cable length. Note: The Ring solar charger for the camera is out of stock, otherwise I would have purchased one from Ring.

I want to find a reliable solar panel for my exterior cameras. This is the third I've tried, and so far, works the best, but makes my cameras act strangely. It is the same for two cameras I've tried it on. When it's dark, as expected, the camera shows its current battery charge. When it's light, but the sun is not directly on the solar panel, the camera shows its battery charge as 100%, but does not show that it's charging. When the sun is directly on the panel, the camera shows its current charge and that it's charging. I understand the panel may not be putting out enough power in indirect light, but I've never seen the camera go from 40% charged, to 100% charged and not charging, to 40% charged and now charging, in the span of a half hour.That said, the unit is very nice, with a nice mounting bracket, nice long cord, etc. It *seems* to keep my cameras charged, but time will tell about the strange behavior.

I bought this to power my fortress security wireless security camera. Even though after charging the camera, after 2 months the camera was at 50%. Not bad, but having to go on a ladder and take it down to charge I decided to buy this solar panel. It's been great so far, keeping my camera at 100% after charging. It comes with a 9' cable which was more than enough to plug into the location of my camera. It's a mini USB plug and fits into the waterproof compartment underneath the camera. Now, I don't have to concern myself with charging again especially in the winter with snow on the deck. It's located for maximum sunshine collection and it is well constructed, lightweight and waterproof. Got it for under $25 also. Great buy. By the way, it's 5v output which is what the manufacturer of the camera stipulates it must be to charge.

Assure plug end connectors work with your devices, mine pulled into my outdoor cameras, now keeping them charged instead of changing out the battery packs.

Update:The past two days the panels have worked great and charged the doorbells up to full. It’s possible the previous week was just too cloudy to see adequate charging. However, it still doesn’t explain why the doorbells with the solar panels DRAIN 10x faster than the one without. Upgraded to 3 stars.. for now. Will update after a few weeks.I bought three of these for three Ring Doorbell Cameras 2020 2nd Gen. They recognize being hardwired to solar after rebooting if in direct sunlight, think they are unplugged if no sun (which is normal as it only recognizes being hardwired if receiving power.) Since they recognized being hardwired that means they were getting a charge… however, the three BRAND NEW doorbells with the solar panel are draining wayyyyyy faster than the older doorbell on the front door with no panel. The front doorbell is set to higher motion checks and longer recording too. All three cameras were charged to full prior to install. The old doorbell on the front door was charged 2 days prior to installing the new ones, and a week later is at 94%The new cameras are all around 80% after 5 days…. They don’t see as much motion, are brand new, and are set to lower battery usage settings such as less frequent motion checks and shorter recording times.My only suspicion is that maybe the solar panels don’t include a diode that prevents back feeding to the panel - effectively making the doorbell try and “charge” the panel overnight and when there is no sunlight. There’s no reason they should all be so much lower than the old doorbell after a shorter time period if they aren’t leaching power to the panel when not charging.Idk I’m at a loss. I’ll do some experimenting such as testing drain rates with and without the panels, but so far I can’t recommend these.
