So far, so good! Easy Installation

I bought these solar panels because they are very cheap. I'm tired of charging my Eufy Cam 2C too often. I seem to have been doing this every 6-8 weeks. I live on a busy street and there are traffic jams all the time. These panels are a good size and the power supply should keep the cameras charged and running. My panels need to get enough light as nothing will obscure them and they get plenty of direct sunlight. Their installation is easy. I just used a drill with a small bit and a Phillips impact driver. I climbed the ladder and installed the base, drilling holes and screwing on the bracket. A template is included in the kit to make marking and drilling easier, but I didn't need it. The panel is simply screwed into the holder. Just tighten it once it's in place. Make sure it faces maximum sun for most of the day. It's very secure and doesn't seem to have any issues. The cable clamps are also easy to install. Just hammer them in so your wires are hidden. Use the appropriate rubber plug for the connector end of your camera. Place it on the cable and then plug it in. It's very easy to do. Tie the wiring together so it's collected and out of the way. Then open the Eufy security app and set the cameras to charge from the solar panel. You will see the application display a small solar panel in several places on the screen. For the price it was hard to beat. Basically I got a set of two panels directly from Eufy for less than one panel.
