Overview
A 6W solar trickle charger for battery powered security cameras with a micro USB or USB-C charging port, built to keep an outdoor camera topped up without swapping batteries. Not compatible with Arlo, Ring, Nest or hardwired cameras.
Compatibility is the deciding factor here: this panel only works with rechargeable battery cameras that charge over micro USB or USB-C, and the listing explicitly rules out Arlo, Arlo Pro, Ring, Ring Spotlight Cam, Google Nest and any wired camera. An IP66 rating and a -5F to 120F operating range point it at year round outdoor mounting. The 360 degree bracket and 10 foot cable give some flexibility in aiming the panel at the sun even when the camera itself is fixed in a shaded spot.
- 6W monocrystalline solar panel
- Micro USB and USB-C compatible
- IP66 waterproof housing
- 360 degree adjustable bracket, 10 ft cable
Who it's for
Owners of micro USB or USB-C rechargeable security cameras who want to stop pulling the battery to recharge it. Not for Arlo, Ring, Nest or any hardwired camera owner, since those are explicitly excluded.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Works with both micro USB and USB-C cameras
- IP66 rated for outdoor exposure
- 360 degree adjustable mounting bracket
- 10 ft cable for flexible panel placement
- Not compatible with Arlo, Ring or Nest cameras
- Camera charging port needs separate weatherproofing
- 6W output is a trickle charge, not fast charging
Performance notes
Monocrystalline cells rated at 6W output feed the camera through whichever cable matches its port, and the IP66 housing is meant to survive rain and temperature swings from -5F to 120F. The adjustable wall mount lets the panel be angled toward the sun independently of camera placement, and the listing notes the camera's charging port should still be weatherproofed separately at installation.
