Extend Your Solar Camera Battery Life this Winter

I believe you can. The same limitations apply for temperature charging limits though.

I have mine plugged in all year round on a low amp plug and leave it as connected to solar on the power management screen. This then stops my battery over charging and letā€™s it deplet down to 95% before accepting more power. Hope this helps

my SoloCam is charging up better than I expected. Itā€™s installed at an east-facing wall, so will not see direct sunlight after 11am or so, yet in the previous, quite cloudy weeks it charged up from ~85% to almost 100% Admittedly, thereā€™s not a lot of traffic.
My Solar Wall Cam, however, which is installed at a position with more direct sunlight in a west-facing position, has been loosing charge during the same period. Im not sure why but perhaps because the solar wall camā€™s built-in solar panel angle is too low for the low sun of the winter months, and cannot be adjusted, while the SoloCamā€™s external panel is pointed a lot lower angle.

I would love to see that adapter and option

I used to do mine like that but with a timer for an hour per day.

I solved that problem by extending the wiring and splitting the wires By two source of charge now It can be charged solar or usb It may not be recommended but it works for me :grin:

Not good for the UK. Battery constantly drains. Had to turn off all the features that make this a great camera. Pointless !

I have absolutely ABYSMAL experiences this winter with my solar panels from Eufy. I live in the state with the most sun, Arizona, and I found myself with THREE different cameras offline, compromising my security system by lack of power. I donā€™t believe these panels were engineered properly at all.

The one I have is powered with a solar via USB. You can just get a USB splitter and power it any way you want. Thatā€™s a thought at least.

Solar panel not charging new camera. Battery slowly going down. Solar p in full sun several hours a day. Not having issues with two other cameras and their solar pā€™d. Any ideas
