Hi guys! I need a help/advice.
I got Solar Wall Light Cam S120. On a sunny day doesn’t charge fully. Also, the battery doesn’t last for a long period.
Does anyone had the same issue with the battery life?
Please let me know - thanks a lot!

Make sure the panel is getting direct sunlight for several hours, not partial or filtered light. Even a bit of shade can impact charging.
If the camera is recording a lot, especially at night, it can drain faster than the solar panel can recharge.
Are you getting a lot of recordings or motion triggers?

I’ve added the extra Eufy solar panel to mine its producing better results!
I’ve also used an a free app to show sun direction,angles etc
I could post the app but I dont know if its against the rules,
It’s free in the play store!

Hi Dave
I noticed that the S120 cam’s battery life improves when connected to HomeBase 3. Initially, my S120 was using around 3% battery per day with the working mode set to Optimal Surveillance. After connecting it to HomeBase 3, the daily usage dropped to about 1%.
I haven’t noticed any issues with solar charging either. The solar panel is directed south and gets plenty of sunlight—it’s able to charge the camera to 100%.
