Any feedback on how many hours of sunlight are needed to keep the solar panel working to maximum efficiency?

It depends on how much video streaming your camera is doing, so mileage definitely varies.  Another factor is that the battery will not charge if the temperature falls below freezing (even if the sun is out).

 

That said, about 3 hours a day is enough to keep my solar camera charged.
