Arlo Solar Panel Charger for Arlo Ultra / Pro 3 Security Cameras - White/Black

Works as advertised and as easy to install as the Arlo cameras. Only issue is that because my cameras hang down under the eaves of the roof, it’s not easy to find a spot that gets lots of sun, even with the generous 8 feet of cord. Still, I found a decent spot for one of my cameras that only gets about 30% of the daily sunlight and tested it. It’s been three months and the device has refilled the battery and remains 100% full of charge.

I just installed yesterday for my Arlo flood light. Overnight the camera dropped 4 percent. As soon as the sun hit the solar panel, it was back at 100 percent. Hasn’t moved. Only one complaint, the wire for the panel is only 8’ long and I don’t want to mount it right by the light because they aren’t the prettiest things you ever seen. What would be nice is if Arlo gave you 25-30 feet worth of wire and you could cut down to length. I’m no electrical engineer but this is common sense. A little expensive for what you get but to save time off of a ladder changing batteries or taking camera down to charge, it’s worth it.

I’ve never written a review and I wasn’t sure what to expect from this solar panel for my outside Arlo camera. Many of the reviews, dogged the capability of the solar panel thinking that their camera should never require recharging again...... Well this is what I have found. The length between charges is extended dramatically. Say from every 2 months to every 6 months. To me that is very good and hence the 5 stars. Bottom line, you still need to recharge the camera battery but the time between charges is 3x - 4x greater than before ————————————— Update: it’s now Mar 2021 and the solar panel charges the Arlo camera to 100%, so no plug in charging ever. The solar panel is better than expected

This version is completely sealed. The charger has the magnetic inductive charge tip that does not require entry into the housing. It just sticks to the bottom of the Ultra series ARLO. The solar cell seems to keep my camera fully charged and remains weather resistant. I give it 4 stars only because the price is ridiculous. Sorry, butt you can buy a solar battery charger and just plug it into the ARLO USB for less money. It would not be as weather proof or slim though, so you are forced to pay the price. If it lasts i guess it will be worth it. If it breaks, or gets water in it I will update this post.

Buy these, you’ll never have to pull your cameras down and charge them again. Top notch quality and time saver!!

The camera (arlo ultra) is good but doesn’t always report motion, night vision is better but not the advertised color amazingness, the 4K is really just 1080 because to use it costs more (subscription) and most of the time it times out because the connection isn’t strong enough to broadcast, or just a lag on there servers, I have defaulted to only using 1080... as for the solar charging system that is awesome!!!! No recharging batteries every few weeks or hassle to hardwire a power cable especially since they still haven’t released the hardwire cables for these cameras almost 7 months after I got the cameras... 🤦🏻‍♂️

This solar panel was a huge disappointment. Even in full Texas sun, it barely provides enough power to keep the camera charged. The battery level still drops throughout the day, and the panel frequently disconnects from the camera for no clear reason. For something marketed as a reliable charging solution, it fails completely. The build quality is also underwhelming. The mount feels flimsy, the cable connection is loose, and the panel struggles to stay positioned correctly. A light breeze is enough to shift it, which means the charging becomes even more inconsistent. The magnetic connector is especially frustrating it pops off far too easily, and any slight movement of the camera or cable interrupts charging. For a premium-priced accessory, the design feels cheap and poorly thought out. Overall, this solar panel does not deliver on its promises. It’s unreliable, overpriced, and more trouble than it’s worth. Definitely not recommended if you want a dependable power source for your Arlo cameras.

So these items are only needed if you don’t want to constantly charge Arlo cameras. Depending on your settings these cameras die pretty quickly. And because of all the tech the use a lot of power. These are essential if you want to just and install outdoors and never want to worry about climbing onto a latter weekly to recharge. They work as advertised but they don’t fully charge unless it has a sun exposure. So position these wisely to get the most bang for your buck.

El complemento perfecto para las cámaras. Se cargan de 10 a 100% en dos días dando el sol un promedio de 8 a 9 horas al día. Me encantaron, fácil instalación y resisten muy bien vientos y lluvia. Son costosas pero evitas cargar las cámaras manualmente y más si están en lugares de difícil acceso.

Si monta facilmente, il piede permette di orientarlo per bene. Il cavo è abbastanza lungo per esigenze di posizionamento un po' lontanato dalla telecamera. Provato in inverno la batteria è praticamente sempre carica.

Great product has used it over 6 months now and workers well. Keeps the battery charges satisfactorily open to sun and rain.

Facil de instalar. Sin mas comentario.

Meine Arlo Kamera läuft jetzt ein ganzes Jahr schon ohne externe Stromversorgung. Perfekt
