Tried searching the community for this sort of issue... and found nothing... u less my search parameters are off...<BR /><BR />Installed my 4-camera system yesterday and everything seemed fine till this afternoon. My external camera is powered by the solar panel. <BR /><BR />When setting activity zones for this particular external camera I get a warning saying that the power source is unplugged but the charging icon is on. See attached screen capture.<BR /><BR />Is this a known issue? Or do I need to reset the camera? Not a good start...<BR /><IMG src="http://community.arlo.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/424534i4F100C7101829109/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999&amp;whitelist-exif-data=Copyright" border="0" alt="Screenshot_20181114-170255_Arlo.jpg" title="Screenshot_20181114-170255_Arlo.jpg" /> Wed, 14 Nov 2018 04:19:36 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/Arlo-Pro-2-Solar-panel-Power-issues/m-p/1650682#M16063 dgcorner 2018-11-14T04:19:36Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/Arlo-Pro-2-Solar-panel-Power-issues/m-p/1650697#M16067 <P>In my case reboot resolved the power issue hopefully it works for you&nbsp;</P> Wed, 14 Nov 2018 08:06:58 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/Arlo-Pro-2-Solar-panel-Power-issues/m-p/1650697#M16067 mrbane 2018-11-14T08:06:58Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/Arlo-Pro-2-Solar-panel-Power-issues/m-p/1650700#M16070 Thanks! I will reboot the camera when I get home... Hopefully this solves the issues.

You must plug the camera into AC power.</P> Wed, 14 Nov 2018 09:41:14 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/Arlo-Pro-2-Solar-panel-Power-issues/m-p/1650714#M16072 RichardGM 2018-11-14T09:41:14Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/Arlo-Pro-2-Solar-panel-Power-issues/m-p/1650810#M16122 Thanks... just goes to show some men dont read the instruction manual hahaha<BR /><BR />However, one would have thought that having the solar panel to recharge the battery on a daily basis would not interfere with activity zones... after all, the sensor's range would become narrower, hence would consume less power...<BR /><BR />Oh well... I must reset the camera then as there seems to be no way to delete the activity zone once added... (it must be in the instructions booklet lol) Wed, 14 Nov 2018 17:44:11 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/Arlo-Pro-2-Solar-panel-Power-issues/m-p/1650810#M16122 dgcorner 2018-11-14T17:44:11Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/Arlo-Pro-2-Solar-panel-Power-issues/m-p/1650865#M16138 <P>The solar panel is only a trickle charger. To use zones requires the camera to constantly stream which is why it has to be plugged into AC power.</P> Wed, 14 Nov 2018 21:11:11 GMT https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/Arlo-Pro-2-Solar-panel-Power-issues/m-p/1650865#M16138 jguerdat 2018-11-14T21:11:11Z https://community.arlo.com/t5/Arlo-Pro-2/Arlo-Pro-2-Solar-panel-Power-issues/m-p/1650900#M16151 Thank you very much for this.
