    • I bought the solar charger, and it won't charge because battery is too cold....
    • Battery too cold?
    • It doesn’t charge the battery enough to use the camera
    • ’s battery fully charged, heavy usage of your camera can drain the camera battery faster than the solar panel can recharge it
    • Needless to say once the battery is depleted to zero the solar panel will not charge.
    • No matter what I have tried (restarting, pulling the battery, cleaning, etc) now all I get is a charging fault on the camera
    • At night or during bad weather, the camera uses battery power that continues to deplete the battery
    • The system shipped with bad batteries, the base station has crashed while we've been away from home, one camera stopped issuing push notifications after it was removed and reconfigured
    • I have had a couple of warnings from 'Arlo' stating the battery was too cold to charge
    • All it does it cause audio interference and drains the battery in about 36 hours
    • Needing to replace batteries and to think about batteries is a pain
    • All in all I'm just glad to not have to worry about charging the battery because I felt before I had to refrain from checking the cameras too often for fear I'd unnecessarily drain the camera batteries too quickly.
    • The panel does not charge the battery sufficiently and fails after a few days to work at all.
    • Instead of charging....drained my batteries.
    • This thing drained the battery’s rather than charge them in 24 hours
    • The camera has turned off charging a few times when the temperature has gotten too low, which is what it is designed to do to protect the battery.
    • it just stop charging till the battery was depleted
    • In North Texas, I don't expect a problem, as we will most likely get warm again before batteries should be exhausted (freezes here typically range from a few hours at night to a few days), but this could be a serious concern for locations in more northern latitudes with extended freezes and shorter winter daylight hours.
    • so I don't need to change and charge my battery every 2 wks with heavy traffic in front of my drive way(100-150 triggers a day with best battery setting).The connecting the USB-B cable from the solar
    • This went for few months, and now the battery is fully drained
    • The wireless cameras seem to have decent battery life as it is (they say up to 6 months depending on how frequently you watch the videos, record, etc.) and after one week without the solar panel, the front yard camera had used up 5% battery and the side yard camera had used up 3% battery.
    • It's December in North Dakota, I'm tired of changing dead batteries in my camera.
    • I charged my battery to 100% then plugged it into the solar charger, in 2 weeks the battery was completely dead despite having the solar panel receiving direct sunlight most of the day
    • When it's freezing and cloudy, the battery will only last about 4 days
    • The batteries are the issue, it will eventually stop charging the battery
    • Don't waste your money...just buy an additional battery!
    • Unsure as to some of the other reviews that indicate the mount (which is not the ball type with magnet) doesn't interfere with the other camera mounting bracket
