How to Install
- Please choose a location for your solar panel that gets the most sunlight throughout the year. The Reolink solar panel needs only a few hours of direct sunlight to sufficiently power up your camera daily. The amount of energy that the solar panel can produce is affected by weather conditions, seasonal changes, geographic locations, etc.
- Mount the bracket with the mounting template and the screws provided in the package.
- Slot the solar panel into the bracket and make sure it’s secure.
- Loosen the adjustment knob on the bracket, and adjust the angle of the solar panel to receive the most direct sunlight. Then re-tighten the adjustment knob to secure the panel.
- Connect the solar panel to the Reolink battery-powered camera with the micro USB cable
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
- Make sure the solar panel is not blocked. The energy harvesting efficiency drops drastically even when a small portion of the solar panel is blocked.
- Please don’t install the solar panel completely horizontally. Otherwise, your solar panel might accumulate dust and other debris easily. It’s advised to install the solar panel angularly to receive the most direct sunlight.
- Wipe the solar panel regularly to remove dust or debris.
- Please charge the batteries in temperatures between 0°C and 45°C (32-113°F). The solar panel won’t charge the camera at temperatures below 0°C (32°F).
Make sure the camera is plugged in all the way and that the waterproof wire cover protects the interface between the camera and the solar panel.
Troubleshooting
Stop Charging the Battery-powered Cameras
If your solar panel can’t charge the camera anymore, try the following solutions:
- Unplug and re-insert the charging cable. Please ensure the connection between the solar panel and camera is stable.
- Make sure that your Reolink solar panel points toward the sun and is not shaded by trees, buildings, or other objects.
- Make sure that your camera is not charged at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F)
