Arlo Pro 3 Solar Panel Efficiency

Hi,

I am considering purchasing a solar panel for my Arlo Pro 3 cameras, and was wondering if they would be efficient in prolonging the battery life.

I currently need to charge my cameras every 3 weeks. With this usage, how would the solar panel help?

Thanks in advance.

I think it would be fine, assuming a good location and angle for sunlight to hit the panel for enough time. 3 weeks may indicate lots of recordings and/or live viewing - try eliminating some of that. The panel will at least slow the need for recharging.

@jguerdat Do you know the potential time savings of using the solar panel with my current usage? Thanks

No idea since that would depend on how you use the camera. Each installation is different. Testing would be needed.
