I want to buy a bunch of solar mounts only for my existing systems. Are going to sell the solar mount only or give that up to 3rd party vendors? It now June and we are all still looking to buy the Solar panels only to use on our Already owned Blink out door cameras

Question 2

Can I buy the mount without the camera ... I already own 5 cameras and would like 3 solar mounts

Accepted Answer

I've been running on a $34 Wasserstein solar panel for a month now, only a few days of Sun 12/2022 in Ohio.  I'm not experiencing any issues. Before this I only used my cameras "manually" turning them on and off when my dogs will bark that someone was in the driveway lol. It saved my battery for two years as I only bought the camera for that reason not really for security. It's  nice to be able to leave it armed to improve the very slow Blink response time when you ask Echo to look at the camera.   I mounted my solar panel with the Wasserstein gutter mount. The panel comes with a long enough cord that I was able to keep my camera fixed to my gutter downspout at a much lower level. I would like to upload a picture for you to see, but Amazon is only allowing me to choose videos for this response.   I'll put one on the panel & mount reviews later.

Ps my dogs are still a faster response by about 20 seconds than Blink's text notifications. 😉

Question 3

When will just the solar panel be available? (I have cameras already)

Accepted Answer

NOW that they have a solar powered unit, I can tell you DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. There are FAR better solutions out there that are very reasonable, and actually work. I have had one of the first solar units since July, and I have been going back and forth with customer service for months--dozens of emails and pics, and the company will NOT support it properly. The plug is ridiculously hard to engage with the panel--my first one would never make good contact and my expensive lithium batteries went dead--so that's how I found out it wasnt working. The unit never reports "external power" so you can't tell if the solar is working. A supervisor just basically told me after 5 months of having me take it apart to take pics, etc. that it looks like I have tampered with it so they will not provide a replacement. Can you believe it?? I am now using the 3rd party solar panels which come 2 in a box for $29, and have worked perfectly for over a year. I also recently discovered a 3rd party AC adapter with a 16 ft cord that I am now using for the camera near the house--$10 for 2!! Forget Blink, if you want good support.

Question 4

Can you buy the solar panel separately?  We already have the outdoor cameras and sync module.
