The camera is great and the solar panel kept the camera fully charged all summer but after the first cold snap the battery dropped to 50 and won t go any higher.
Ring camera solar panel review.
If the battery is dead the solar panel can t power the camera alone.
The battery is a requirement for running ring spotlight solar.
I ve had the panel installed for three months now and am extremely satisfied.
Interestingly the stick up cam battery has optional compatibility with ring s 39 power adapter and its 49 solar panel accessory through a hidden port in the back of the camera.
Ring s solar powered security camera fails to outshine rivals sign in to comment be respectful keep it civil and stay on topic.
Even though we had excellent results there s a limitation.
The camera that comes with ring s spotlight cam solar bundle is the same as the company s spotlight cam battery 199 but with a 7 75 by 5 5 inch rectangular solar panel that you connect to.
The ring community is a great addition thanks best buy.
If you remove the solar panel the camera will run strictly on battery.
