RingSolar Panel (2nd Generation) (USB-C) for Spotlight Cam Plus, Spotlight Cam Pro, 4W (Black)

Good quality, the stand for it also feels solid. Very easy to install and works well as soon as it’s plugged in. I’m using it with the Ring outdoor cam and it makes a considerable difference to the battery life.

Works great with my Stick Up Cam using the included adapter. Installed yesterday evening with battery at 75%, had maybe 5 hours of daylight and it's up to 100% despite battery drain being the highest with all settings enabled. Will see how it goes long-term, but seems perfect for my needs so far. Easy to install on my pebbledash render with just 2 screws and the option to cable manage along the wall if needed. The only negative I found is the adapter is quite tough to slot on with the USB-C port being so recessed, but I'll never have to undo this so not a big deal.

I recently installed a ring doorbell and a number of the Spotlight Cam Pro security cameras.I was happy with all devices, but soon realised I either needed two batteries in the camera at the front of the house or I would be accessing it to change batteries regularly.Then I saw the option for a solar panel and thought it work looking into further.The second generation seemed to have a higher wattage and the price was good when compared to multiple batteries so I took the plunge and ordered one.Mounting was easy as the front of the house gets daylight for long enough to give quite a few hours charging, so i mounted in near the camera and alongside a solar panel form the door bell (fitted at same time, see separate review.)The supplied fixings seemed pretty good quality and made a nice secure fix, the bracket is a little plasticky but should be ok.Since installation the camera has remained charged at 90-100% most if not all the time.Obviously come winter I accept this may change, but so far even on gray days it has done a decent job charging it up after the nighttime.I am very pleased with this purchase, and will look at fitting more for the other cameras i own, but their location means solar panels need to be further away making install a bit trickier, but I'll look at it.

I have mounted my new Ring cam high up in a place hard to get at by intruders. Problem with this approach is if you have to get up there (twice) to recharge the battery. The solar panel saves all that. The cam is quickly fully charged in the morning. This is in the summer, so I am not aware of how effective it will be in dark winter days. I doubt if it will be a problem. I have dropped a star as I consider it a touch expensive.

This is rings latest solar panel which is a great accessory if you find constantly charging batteries a pain.I was rather impressed that it keeps a spotlight cam charged even in winter that is between two houses and so only gets a very limited amount of sunlight.In fact it is so good that I effectively use it as a battery charger and swap its battery with my doorbell one when it is flat. This has the added advantage of ensuring that the battery is regularly discharged.Fitting is easy and its angle is adjustable.The standard lead is USB C and an adapter is included although I’m not sure what that devices that is for.For best value you should buy it on a ‘prime day’ of which there are several during the year.Definitely a useful addition to a ring camera.

Very easy to setup and install and has drastically improved the duration of my battery health and time to recharge.

These are great, I got two and they have meant that I do not ever have to charge my ring cameras, easy to install and you can easily adjust the length of the cable, amazing value for money and saves on electricity, ring cameras have great picture quality and adjustable settings and I thoroughly recommend them!

Pointless item, I had a new camera sent from Ring thinking the camera was faulty because the Solar panel was not charging the battery with 5 hours winter Sun worked for a small period then the battery kept draining super fast and over night when there was no motion detection, all minimum setting. Changed to different battery and still the same issue, with constant notifications asking if i want to connect the camera to Wired 20 times a day. The firmware was updated and all checks done still not fixed.Guess what disconnected the Solar Panel and put one fully charged battery in and the camera is working fine and installed at 4pm checked battery next morning 8.30am only 99% from 100%.This tells me 100% the solar panel is rubbish not fit for purpose. will be returning this and getting a 2nd battery and deal with climbing the ladder till the fix this issue.
