I recently installed 3 cameras outside and attached solar panels to each of them.  For two of them there are no problems.  But the third is giving me an error that says "The charging source connected to the camera cannot charge your battery. Please use an Arlo power adapter." 

 

Has anyone received this error when using the solar panels?  Like I said two work, this third is not.

 

Thank you.

Try unplugging each end of the cable and carefully reinsert them, making sure they're fully and properly seated.
