I have an Arlo Ultra 2 Wireless Security Camera.  I have it positioned on a tree as the best vantage point for coverage.  I am considering purchasing a Solar Panel Charger for the Ultra.  The tree is a Live Oak, which means it has leaves year-round.  Will I get enough solar panel charge to keep the Ultra running?  When I purchased the Ultra 2, In February 2022, I was told there was on average a six-month battery charge.  The charge lasted one month.  I am very disappointed by that.  Will the solar panel keep it charged with dispersed sunlight (some heavy straight sunlight, some shadow sunlight)?

It should help, but might not be enough.

 

I have a panel mounted on a maple tree.  It increased the time between charges, but I still need to charge the camera from time to time.  I recently upgraded the Ultra to XL, and so far that combination hasn't needed to be charged.
