Usage Recommendations

Position the panel where it receives direct sunlight for optimal performance, ideally facing south or east depending on your location. Adjust the wall bracket to a vertical angle of up to 90 degrees to maximize exposure. Avoid shaded areas or dense tree coverage. For best results, place the panel near the camera to minimize cable length and exposure to elements.

The panel does not include batteries, so it only charges devices that already have rechargeable batteries. It is not compatible with hardwired cameras or brands like Arlo, Blink, Ring, Eufy, Google Nest, or Kasa. Use it only with outdoor cameras that operate on battery power and have a USB charging port.

🌞 The panel performs best in sunny environments and may not fully charge in low-light or overcast conditions. Always ensure the camera is positioned to allow solar exposure throughout the day.
