    • It's been used since the end of May, 2018, so the weather has been warm and sunny.
    • We’ve been through a few rain storms, some sunny weather, and some cloudy weather
    • For those who live where 4 seasons exist or more importantly... colder weather - NetGear has a lot more work to do before they can call this option a "solution".
    • This week we got a few days of good sunny weather and I installed the solar panel again
    • I figured for two of the three cameras I currently have, the solar panels are the better choice since it removes the need to climb a ladder (would not enjoy doing that in the bitter cold or bad weather).
    • Will not charge batteries in cold weather

    • and we have had some stupid cold weather
    • At night or during bad weather, the camera uses battery power that continues to deplete the battery
    • Once the weather dropped to around the high 20's, I received a warning on my app saying that the camera was no longer charging due to the cold weather
    • 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
