Wasserstein Solar Panel, Solar Panel Charger for Google Nest Cam Outdoor or Indoor, Battery - 2.5W Solar Power - Camera Solar Panels Made for Google Nest (2 Pack)

I bought 3 of these chargers for my Google Nest outdoor cameras! They work great! I never have had to charge my cameras since I hooked these up! I've been through a whole year in the mountains of North Carolina. Warm summers and cold winters. My cameras keep charged!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I needed a solar panel to power a Nest camera in an inconvenient place. I constantly had to use a ladder to reach it for recharging. I installed the solar panel and waited a few days to see how it was doing. It worked great. I have another hard to reach camera so I will soon buy another Wasserstein solar panel for it.

These solar panels are great and match perfectly with the Google Nest outdoor camera. It keeps the camera battery fully charged and are small enough to be discreet when viewed from the street.

The solar panels worked fine. The cord was a good length, but the mount would only work one way. I could not get the panel to go horizontally which I would have preferred.

Works well with the Google Nest battery outdoor camera, though it's a bit cumbersome and the clip which retains the solar panel itself to the mount feels quite flimsy.

Update 10/10/24Well, I’m sorry to say that I forgot to do the update on this. But for good reason… I have now had the replacement up in place for over a year now and I have had zero issues with it. It has constantly maintained the charge on my camera, even through last years winter, where I receive less sunlight up here in Western Washington. I would like to thank the fantastic customer support people for providing me a replacement device that not only fixed the issue, but has outlived the original product. I’m happy to update this review to a five star.Update - 5/28/23-I received a replacement panel from the customer support reps of the product. It has resolved the failed device status and I am upping the review to 3 stars. I will provide additional information in approximately 4 months. That duration of time will be after the original one died.Original review-Easy to install. Used the same brand 2-in-1 gutter mount for the panel, as I already had the camera mounted above my garage. The cable management clips the panel comes with are garbage and I ended up using my own. The panel worked from Jan 31st when it was installed, through May 4th (possibly stopped working earlier).TL:DR - stopped working just outside warranty periodStory time...I had some landscapers doing some work putting bark down in the planters in my back yard. The bark had been delivered to the front driveway, so naturally there was a lot of activity in the driveway where the camera watches. Due to this, the battery in the Nest camera drained much faster than normal."The solar panel must not have been able to charge it as fast as the camera was consuming," I thought. I charged the camera from USB wall power, like I had at least one other time since getting the solar panel. It charged to 100%, I got the notification on my phone that it was full, got out the ladder, reinstalled the camera, and reattached the solar panel cable.When I got down from the ladder, I checked the phone to make sure the viewing angle was good. The camera was showing a battery percentage of 100%. When plugged into solar, (on the iPhone anyway) the app shows an infinity symbol instead of a battery percentage. So for whatever reason, there was no power going to the camera.I got back up on the ladder and made sure the cord was sitting snugly in the port and was in the correct orientation, yep. I then moved the ladder to the panel and made sure there was nothing on it that was blocking sunlight. Looked clean to me. Still no power.It's a simple device. Not much for an end user to mess up. Panel points towards sun, attached cord plugs into camera. It is unacceptable that a device with no moving parts, designed to sit and absorb sunlight all day, could fail so quickly.I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with the failure of the Wasserstein solar panel for my Nest camera. Despite following all the instructions (as limited as they were) and ensuring that everything was installed correctly, the panel failed and is no longer charging the camera battery... just outside of its warranty period, too. This cost me not only the money spent on the panel and mount but also my time and effort in installing it. Now, I am left with the options of either paying someone to run a cord into my garage and install a new outlet or going back to manually charging the camera every so often.

Works Great with my cameras. Never have to worry about charging my cameras.

Solar panels have exceeded my expectations.
