Looking for recommendations for solar panels for essential 2k outdoor cameras. Bought a Dianmu one but it doesn’t seem to be doing much of anything. It does trickle charge but then seems to drain a lot. Looking for recommendations to keep the cameras at least charged where it won’t pull power from the camera as well. THANKS!!!

The usual recommendation is to use the Arlo ones. While there have been issues with those, they generally work well. Of course, that also depends on the amount of sunlight hitting it as well as how much recordings are actually going on with <5 minutes per day being the spec for battery life without a solar panel. Activity zones may be deleting recordings if you want to know the actual amount of time spent recording so you may need to delete those temporarily.
