specs are not given for the power supply, but is the output similar to solar panels used for shed lighting, solar battery chargers, or similar? That would solve the issue of having to get out a ladder or climb a tree to replace discharged batteries, a significant downside to this product.  What are the input power requirements for this product?

The supplied chargers are something like 2A at 5v and 1.5A at 9v. A solar panel is offered but is really only a trickle chaarger. You'd need a much larger one to actually be able to power the camera and still wouldn't work at night.
