I have a 2K essential camera (3rd gen) and have recently hooked it up to an Arlo-branded solar panel.  Since I hooked it up, I have been getting very choppy video, with up to 5 second skips between frames.  Also a lot of artifacting as shown in the attached photo.   Anyone else run into this behavior?  The solar charging went well, immediately recognizing the solar, and showing the power indicator as charging (and eventually full).arlo image 2.jpg

WHat happens if you disconnect the panel? That picture implies a WiFi connection issue which the panel should have no effect on (unless the position is somehow blocking the signal).
