Solat panel not charging

Davisabs — Sat, 29 Jun 2024 21:44:09 GMT

So I have a new Arlo go 2 camera on my boat. I previously had an Arlo go and a solar panel for that. Since upgrading to to Arlo go 2 and the solar panel the battery Is not keeping up. I have the quality of video at a minimum, the sensitivity down to 10% from 100% on the original Go camera I had. I have the zones down to a tiny sliver of what I had on the previous camera. I would get 50-100 10 sec videos on the previous camera and never lose the battery. Now the go 2 is set at a ridiculous low setting across the board, but the battery dies within two days. Excited same location as old camera with a 10th of the previous quality, what gives. I'm about to return the camera and solar panel.

Using zones still requires a recording so the servers can decide whether to discard the video. Disable zones to get a true measure of recordings. SHould be <5 minutes per day total.

What happens to the battery if you disconnect the solar panel? There have been various reports here where connecting a panel causes the battery not deplete.
