It’s way dark tonight and my ultra is showing as 100% charged (which I believe) and that it’s still charging. It’s pitch black outside - no way can it be charging.

I’ve connected to it, turned it off and on again and still shows as charging.

Anyone else had this issue ?

Just to clarify - do you have the Ultra connected to a Solar Panel?  If not, what is it connected to?

Hi there

Yes, it is connected to the ultra compatible solar panel. (Which has charged it fine over the past couple of days.)

The next time you see this, try live streaming the camera, and make sure it is connecting.

Ive tried that, but it didn't update the status - its happened several times, so Im assuming its a bug in the firmware?

Or the backend (or even the app).
