Heavy usage of your camera can drain the camera battery faster. I have 2 cameras with the solar panel connected to each. I think the arlo solar panel drains the battery. The new replacement solar panel direct from arlo had an older serial number than the 3 solar panels i had originally bought.

Both arlo is the world s first 100 percent wireless high definition smart home security camera. Although the arlo solar panel is designed to keep your arlo camera s battery fully charged heavy usage of your camera can drain the camera battery faster than the solar panel can recharge it. I thought the issues were with firmware but it seems that there is a hardware issue that allows the solar panels to drain the batteries.
