5W Solar Panels for Security Cameras - Compatible with Ring Spotlight Cam(Battery), Ring Stick Up Cam Battery - 9.8 Ft Charging Cable - 1PACK (Not for Spotlight Plus/Pro)

I ordered this solar panel to replace a Wasserstein one with less than half the wattage. my backyard Ring camera kept dying whenever the weather dropped too low. I am so glad I upgraded. I have had zero problems with this solar panel. it never dies on me anymore and I can even have more of the settings turned on that drain the battery. it supports it 100%! It’s also smaller, skinnier and nicer looking than the old solar panel. not that it matters all that much. I wasn’t entirely confident when purchasing this, but I didn’t want to spend so much money on Ring’s version, so I gave it a try. If you’re on the fence about it, GET IT. you will not regret it.

This little solar panel works really well with my Ring Stick Up Camera (3rd generation). I ordered this to see if it would work. It worked so well, I ordered another one for another Ring Stick Up Camera I have. I live in the Phx area, so there is abundant sunshine so I know this little solar panel will work very well for quite some time. Love that my camera is always fully charged now.

Updated It lasted about 3 months. I got notification on the Ring App that my spotlight cam is low on battery, later my cam stopped working because it's low on battery. Disappointed. After leave the 1-star review (for a while), the seller NEVER contacts me for a replacement. It likes take the money & run. the buyers are the person who lost the hard earned money.

Purchased this for my Ring camera that was on battery-only but required increased range and sensitivity to pick up people on the sidewalk, which drained the battery at a steady clip. Adding this to the Ring ensures that we don't burn down the battery, even on cloudy days. Great source of power, and I never have to worry about missing something because the camera has no juice. Would absolutely buy again.

I was charging the battery on our Ring camera every 4ish days...which was ALOT! Did some searching and came across this guy and ordered after reading the reviews. At first I just sat it out beside the camera to see how it worked (charging up/keeping charge). I was surprised and pleased that it worked so well! I've now got it mounted outside on our roof and connected to the camera. Going on 3 months and absolutely no issues - haven't lost signal in that camera at all! Highly recommend and will buy when we need another!

Note, I intend to edit this review several months down the road as the weather changes. Two LITTLE things keeping this little gem from 5 stars for me: 1. The USB-C and mini-USB adapter cables could use a little O-ring or a little one-shot of silicone sealant in the package, to be applied when attaching to the camera. Most of these outdoor cams have a little O-ring around the connector hole, but not all of the connectors of these panels fit that snug to keep water out. Just one more thing to make the whole experience perfect. I simply used a little silicone sealant around the outer plastic of the connector when inserting into the camera. The adapter-to-main-cable junction is solid and hasn't leaked as is. 2. A removable cable on the panel itself so that I can replace with something shorter if I don't need 9+ feet of cable. First the BAD: 1. The mount. This is NOT a deal breaker, and likely trivial to some: I really don't like that the tightening ring is so small. Might be fine for most, but with my hands, being that small means I have to use pliers to get a grip, even to "hand tighten". Additionally with the ball being small and metal and the pressure point being small and plastic, I worry about what the weather will do to it. I've found that the best "ball joint" mounts for these smaller panels, in harsher weather, have either plastic on plastic or metal on silicone. Additionally the tightening ring has more diameter and/or "wings" to make it easier to grip by hand. OK, on to the good stuff: 1. The mount is the "threaded rod on a ball joint" type. It is comparable to all the other ball-joint mounts with the standard threads. In fact, for this eval I remove an existing panel, and re-used it's mount. This panel fit perfectly. It's solid and works perfectly (save for the personal opinion noted above). Anyway, the threaded rod/ball joint combo means you can angle the panel as needed. Some of the other small panels I've tried 'clip' into the mount with a small plastic tab the only security, and/or they adjust only on 1 plane, and/or are made entirely of thin plastic. 2. Charge performance: Under an Autumn sun in the lower US latitudes, it added 15% to the battery of a Wyze Battery Cam Pro in just over two hours, and it added 13% battery to a Eufy E40 in the same timeframe (previous day). Even as the sun gets lower going into Winter, I'm expecting this won't have a problem topping off the battery and keeping it charged. I use the live view of my cams pretty often, so we'll see. 3. Weather resistance: It rained HARD all night. The panel started adding to the camera battery as soon as the sun peaked out this morning. Upon inspection the little panel was still wet, and was charging the battery. 4. Size. Of all the panels I've tried, this is the smallest in the 5W range. I wasn't expecting it to perform this well, to be honest. I'm really happy with the size/performance. 5. Maintenance. So small a simple wipe of the panel would take one second, if/when needed. So first impressions are that it's a quality panel, with a quality mount and adapters. Just needs some tweaking.

Charges without direct sun. Yep, when it rains here for a week or more at a time, with wind, I haven't needed to charge batteries. In fact, I set my ring to the maximum everything and the solar panel keeps up. I am very impressed. Just be careful with the screws or screw head not to strip the head. Holds up in the wind but mane snug but don't try to over tighten. I already knew from a previous ring install. Having the proper screwdriver for the screw head is the key for not stripping out the screw head.

This product worked well for maybe 3 months- then I realized my ring wasn’t charging. I reconnected everything, but it just doesn’t work. Not a comparable product to actual ring solar panel.

Works perfectly with my Ring camera. Easy to set up, keeps the battery topped up, and I don’t have to worry about charging anymore. Good build quality and solid performance.

Works great for 6 months. Then not so much. Had this on the front of the house in the eves protected from direct rain. Worked flawlessly for 5 months then dropped off. The coating of the panel started degrading and by 6months was barely charging in full sunlight.

Good item

Our cameras are now powered to100% in Summer and the lowest power level in Winter (88%) which was increased to 98% by tilting the angle of the solar panel during Winter. Would recommend for ease of installation because if an 80 year old tech failure can do it, anyone can AND, it keeps that 80 year old off a ladder removing batteries that need re-charging!

It works as advertised
