Review on Arlo Certified Accessory - Solar Panel Charger (2018 Released) for Arlo Ultra, Ultra 2, Pro 3, Pro 4 and Pro 3 Floodlight Cameras: Weather Resistant, 8ft Power Cable, Adjustable Mount - White VMA5600 by Dave Russell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Virtually useless *

There were high hopes that this thing would at least hold a charge, but no. Gets at least 3-4 hours of direct sunlight, and in the 90's it's been cloudless for over a week, and it's still steadily draining the charge. When I received this a week ago the charge was 68%, now it's 52% and falling. I gave it one star because it expires at least a bit slower I think. But my main reason for buying this overpriced device was not having to climb the stairs to charge it every month. another hour or two of sunlight [if that would help], but arlo only gives you a meager 8ft of cord so you're very limited as to how far it can get from the light. it's actually charging, I don't know if the sun is getting hotter or if the rating could go up even more if this trend continues
