producto de buena calidad.

Works great!

I've had Arlo cameras for a LONG time. Started with the Pro2's and upgraded to the Pro4's several years ago. I have 10 cameras and half were powered by Arlo solar panels. The panels performed well for the most part and I had no complaints. Recently, I started upgrading my Pro4 cameras to the Essential XL cameras for the better battery life and the ability to avoid using a hub. The cameras work great. I replaced my older Arlo solar panels with the new version for the Essenital XL 2ndgen cameras as they have different charging interfaces. The new panels are a bit cheaper, but it looks like they have, at most, 60% of the solar cell area of the old panels. They are much smaller. Smaller area means less charge capability, but I figured Arlo knew what they were doing. Turns out, they didn't. These panels are horrible. They don't put out enough power (in full sun) to keep the cameras from draining let alone actually put a positive charge on them. I hooked the panels up with one camera at 84%. After two weeks in the sun with minimal camera use, the charge is sitting at 86%. Barely moved when I figured it would have topped the camera off completely. The other camera actually lost charge by 8% over the two weeks with the panel in full sun. I have no idea why Arlo chose to shrink the size of the panels, but they are useless for the most part now. I bought a non-Arlo replacement and they are working great charging both cameras up to 100% in just a day or two.

I like having my Arlo cameras at the “best quality” image setting, night vision, and highest capture. Because of that, I can run a battery down in a matter of days. I would put solar panels on all my Arlo cameras if I could! This one was an easy setup, and fills the battery day- even in some of our more bitter cold (Nebraska in January), it has managed to continue to work.

It works as it promised, only problem is its power capacity, is quite small just as large as a phone,it is the lowest power Of solar panel for security cameras I have ever seen !

This product has been hooked up to my camera for well over a year now and is still working as it should.

Bougth this to charge my Arlo camera. It is ok and fits into the camera ok. The cord could be longer. Also power output is only enough to maintain the charge on the battery but not fully charge it. For example, if your camera is at 80 percentage, it may charge it to 85 percent. But if there is no Sun then the charge can drop to 50 percent.

Great panels

Te mantiene perfectamente la batería con poco tiempo al sol. Si está muy descargada le cuesta bastantes horas subir al 100% porque no está pensada para hacer eso. Perfecto

Excellent produit

Easy installation and keeps our Arlo camera charged well.

TOP! Quali & Preis sind TOP!

Works really well, keeps the outdoor camera on full charge and holds up in the weather. Got it for way cheaper than the stores or direct too.
