Have a camera mounted high up in a tree with solar panel. Stays at 100% during the winter when the leaves are gone, but doesn't get enough charge during the summer when the sun's blocked.

If I have a high wattage power bank and long enough wire to the ground, can I charge the camera remotely instead of grabbing the ladder and swapping batteries 3 or 4 times until the next winter?

m1onon,

 

While there are no official Arlo accessories to power cameras via power bank, this could work depending on the accessories used and your specific envronment.

 

The better solution would be to relocate the solar panel (if possible) in such a way that allows the camera to continue charging regardless of the season.
