"A charging fault has been detected. Unplug and reconnect the charger from the camera side of the plug. If this error message persists, see KB article for Charging Faults."

 

I would prefer to buy a cable and see if that is at fault. I guess ARLO don't do that and want you to spend another $80 on the solar charger.

That won't happen until i know the cable is not the issue. I'd rather buy an alternative camera and that out should the solar panel have failed

 

 

Summary

====

Can't find the article

Camera is fine (recharged battery with supplied wall charger, been monitoring activity for 4 weeks,solar panel is still plugged it, continue to get the above message)

Cable is not damaged per visual inspection

I suspect the panel and/or cable have become faulty. They are located 15' above ground so nobody can touch them.

Worked for just under a year

Stopped charging in September

 

 

Rather than spend

Hey @Bluelguana,

 

You can refer here if your Arlo Solar Panel is not charging: My Arlo Solar Panel is not charging my Arlo Go or Arlo Pro camera battery; what do I do?
