Review on 🌞 iTODOS Solar Panel with Outdoor Power Charging Cable and Adjustable Mount for Arlo Pro and Arlo Pro 2 (Silver) by Matt Dyen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Arlo Pro loading error

I really like this product but it has a few small problems and one big problem. Small problems at first. Neither is critical, but both are a bit annoying: 1) The bracket that comes with the panel doesn't hold it very well because the panel is quite heavy and hard enough to apply force. on friction mounting and positioning mechanisms to keep it in place. I got this thing to avoid messing around with the camera and climbing stairs to move the solar panel until it saves me the trouble. 2) I have an Arlo Pro on a mount of the same design. like the one that comes with the panel. The problem is that the micro USB connector does not fit into the camera's charging port due to the lack of space between the attachment point, the plastic nut on the mount and the large USB connector. I had to buy multiple extensions and adapters to push the camera further and allow more room. Things got tight for them too. Big issue: After making a fuss to charge the camera, I woke up the next day with a charging error in the Arlo app. Despite numerous attempts to restart the base station and disconnect/connect the charger, the camera does not show the charging icon. I'll wait another day and contact tech support too, but I'm not optimistic. I will update this review with details if I can resolve the issue.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • easy fixability
