I live in arizona so low temps shouldn t be an issue.
Ring spotlight solar panel not charging.
I noticed last night that i have that add a ring solar panel to extend battery life statement on both of these cams.
I have two spotlight cams with solar panels.
Spotlight cam no longer charging by solar panel from what i understand the mention of solar panels in the app is just an ad to buy a solar panel and does not signify whether or not the camera can detect a solar panel is plugged in and that was only added to the ios app.
Take camera off wall mount loosen screw on ball ring latch it s easier for next steps you ll need to open it to see mac code for re setup put it back in the mount hook up solar panel charge cord screws and use live view to adjust the view to your liking.
Ultimate win would be for the app to be able to show the voltage being delivered by the panel so we can see if it needs to be oriented better.
Mount the spotlight cam.
If not try another outlet.
Remove the center plug.
Check back in 30 mins and see if battery 100.
Spotlight cam battery not charging with solar panel even better would be an indication in the ring app that the device is even being charged by the solar panel.
I also have three amazon cams that led me to this post googling for issues after my spotlight batteries stopped charging from the panel.
Fully close and re open your app.
Ensure your camera s battery is 100 charged.
Plug the snap ring barrel charging cable into the power connector on spotlight cam.
Check to make sure your stick up cam is powered on.
Route the charging cable from your solar panel into the power connector on spotlight cam.
The one you re using may be faulty or associated with a light switch.
Restart your router and run through the setup process again.
The spotlight cam solar panel is a small device that can be mounted outdoors and connected to your spotlight cam or stick up cam battery with a cable.
We ve had a couple of rainy overcast days.
I do not see anything about solar panels in my android app.
