No more recharging your cameras.
This is great, no more taking the cameras down to recharge them. These units work great and are easy to install.

So far so good and cheaper than a leading brand
I purchased a couple of these for our new nest cameras. So far the charge has been no issues for the camera – if anything I just need to figure out how to boost the wifi signal to the cameras.We had already another camera using the much more expensive Wasserstein panel which was even a lower wattage than these which has lost power to the camera a few times over the last 6 months, even though it is facing south and positioned with no obstacles.

My cameras are always at 100% with these
These solar panels are the real deal. I have three of them powering Eufy 2C Pro cameras and they keep the batteries fully charged every day. Great peace of mind. I consider these panels a very good value and will buy more when I expand my security system further.

Good but needs Improvements!
First day install!(6-11-2023)The solar panels worked flawlessly off the box. That’s for sure!However, I noticed quickly while installing some big flaws.SCREWS:The screws that come with the panels are extremely cheap. They look and feel like plastic screws covered in chrome spray paint. I don’t think they are meant for the outside elements. They will break if you put them on tight. They did on me and I used an electric screwdriver, not a drill.Solution:I mixed them with different screws. Replace them all if you have enough screws around.CHARGING PLUG SEAL:When you plug the panels on your camera, the plug exposes the inner workings of the camera to the elements. Water could ruin your cameras and they are not cheap.Solution:I used plumbers tape (see picture). Cover all the up to half of the metal plug so you can get a tight seal when you plug them in. Be generous with the tape to form a tight seal. Don’t worry, the plug won’t come off. The plug has tiny hooks.THE CHARGING PLUG IS TOO LONG:On a eufy setup, the charging plug that plugs into the camera is too long (see pictures). They should’ve used a sideways charging plug instead. It uses less space.This is a GREAT INCONVENIENCE.Solution:Reinstall your cameras on a different angle.TOO MUCH CABLE:It would be nice if it came with only a foot attached to the panel and the extension was included but optional just in case you need it.Too much cable looks unattractive and unprofessional. It’s hard to hide.Solution:You can wrap it around the base of the panels (neatly) or hide it inside the soffit.Now, here my personal opinion.They each panel charges about 1% an hour in the shade and about 2% percent in direct sunlight. It all depends.This is GOOD!My eufy cameras use only about 1%-2% of energy a day, if that, in low consumption mode.You want a slow charge simply because it’s constantly charging. This beats up the battery when the battery is already at 100%. It really beats it up.So, pay attention to your specific energy needs on each of your cameras. If you’re always at 100%, adjust you camera settings to the most enegy consumption. Turn on LEDs when it detects motion. Use longer recording periods and better quality. Make the camera extra sensitive. This way its always charging. Keep the charge at 50%-60% at night so it can charge during the day time.If the camera is using too much energy due to the high traffic area, go to settings, use shorter recording periods. Make the camera less sensitive and turn off LED when it detects motion.Now the panels are not too big, and I it adds much needed visibility to the cameras. They are about the size of a regular adult male. I’m 5’10. (see pictures).Wow, reviews are surely time consuming. However, I hope my review helped.Please give me a thumbs up if my review helped you friend.Thanks!I WILL DO AN UPDATE AFTER A MONTH OR TWO.UPDATE:Still working FLAWLESSLY. No issues. No problems. My cameras are always at 100% charge. (4/3/2004)

Works perfect for Eufy
These are doing a perfect job of helping to keep my Eufy cameras lasting longer. Now I donât think these will eliminate the need to fully charge them, however I can say I added these when my cameras were around 80% charged and they have kept them pretty close to the same for 2 months now. I imagine in the winter they will not charge as strong, but still I am really pleased with these!

NOPE!! NOPE!!! NOPE!!!
It’s very questionable about all of these 5 â’s .. I hard wire charge my cameras to 100% then plugged in to solar panels. Battery power continuously dropped through the peak sun to 45% the same day. By night time it was 9%. Keep in mind this happened in 1day. See PHOTO. PRIOR TO SOLAR PANEL 1 camera would last 1 month and other cam 2 months. NOW WITH PANELS THEY WONT LAST 2 DAYS. WTH.. 2nd GEN NEST

After two days of installation the small Eufy cameras are almost drained completely. Sadly, I have to indicate that these are well below my expectations. I will be looking into returning these if I can, and purchasing a better option.
Jason –
Easily charged up both cameras from half to full charge with a day in the sun after install. Cameras have remained at 100% charge even with 2 hours streaming PIP while waiting for a delivery driver to arrive with another package. Panels are well constructed and sealed around edges well. I also purchased 1 gutter mount so one of the cameras could be positioned well in an awkward location. Would definitely recommend for people who get tired of having to climb to take down and recharge cameras constantly.
Darren –
Works really well it charged my cameras batteries from nearly empty and has maintained the batteries full charge.I would recommend these solar panels
Jon –
Itâs well made, comes with mounting bracket, even comes with usb-c adapter!The 4watts of power from the solar panel is enough to charge a flat camera battery full in 2 to 3 days depending on sunlight.Iâve ordered more! Do not need the larger capacity solar chargers for my situation and location.Highly recommend. ð
