Solar panel

[Finerneveryway]

I purchased the VMA7600 to charge my pro 3 floodlight and my battery continues to die. Is the model the best to keep my floodlight charge because my battery doesn’t last longer than a week. It’s frustrating and I’m ready to return all my devices.

Since battery-only life is only ~1 week, the solar panel can't possibly keep up - it's a trickle charger.

How many minutes in total of recording is the camera doing? Spec battery life is for >5 minutes per day on average. If you have activity zones enabled, remove them so you get a true accounting (the camera has to record for the servers to determine whether the motion was in the zone).  You may need to reposition the camera to eliminate extraneous view as well as reduce the motion sensitivity. A screenshot of the camera's view may be useful.

 Also about how minutes a day is the floodlight turned on?
