Can t believe all 3 solar panels i originally bought were defective.
Arlo pro drains through solar panel.
So when you first get one of these don t assume the green symbol means all is well.
5 f to 120 f 20 c to 48 c 100 weather resistant design absolutely durable and built to last.
Only for arlo hd not for arlo pro arlo pro2 arlo ultra arlo pro3 weatherproof durable our alro hd solar panel surface is made of monocrystalline silicon material operating conditions.
Model vms4430p arlo pro 2 with 4 1 hd camera installed all 4 without issues used to get at least 1 to 1 5 months until charging batteries.
And don t let it drain your battery completely that may kill it for good.
I thought the issues were with firmware but it seems that there is a hardware issue that allows the solar panels to drain the batteries.
Simply mount the panel outside your house and connect the weatherproof micro usb cable with your camera.
I ve personally recommended them to others.
I will now unplug the solar panel to compare battery life loss.
The new replacement solar panel direct from arlo had an older serial number than the 3 solar panels i had originally bought.
Battery life at the end of today is now at 58.
Please note that water rain is not in the picture so water is not a factor and the results are not promising.
If you see this icon or if the solar panel does not charge your arlo camera battery follow the troubleshooting steps below.
The solar panel is probably heating up with the energy it is sucking out of the camera battery.
Just to ensure i had set it up correctly after seeing issues.
Connect the arlo solar panel to your arlo camera or light and never have to charge your battery again.
The arlo solar panel harvests power from the sun and with only a few hours of direct sunlight keeps your arlo battery charged.
I think the arlo solar panel drains the battery.
This is a strange problem that netgear needs to fix.
I have 2 cameras with the solar panel connected to each.
If you see this icon in the arlo app while your arlo camera is connected to the arlo solar panel your camera is not registering the arlo solar panel as a compatible power source.
The arlo pro and arlo pro 2 camera in contrast have been great.
However 3 are high up painful to get down hence i bought 3 x arlo solar panels to plug into.
