How frustrating,, I"ve had this system for 6 months, have never been able to hold a charge. It has solar and it DOES NOT WORK! If I could return this I would, bought them from Costco.. SO FRUSTRATING after spending near $300 and can't use this **bleep**.
WTF... does anyone have the same issue, is there something I may be doing wrong.. Should be plug and play.. sunshine and charge - BUT NOPE, doesn't work.
Yes, I plugged the cameras in for first full charge, then within days they go out.

The solar panels will only trickle charge the camera batteries.
If you have excess motion occurring on the camera it will increase the battery drain.
consider options to externally power the camera from house power adapter. Relocate the camera to reduce unwanted motion.
Adjust camera trigger sensitivity to lower trigger events.

Also, there have been issues with certain solar panels causing the battery to drain. You can test this by simply disconnecting the panels from the camera.
