Solar Panel for Google Nest Camera Outdoor or Indoor(Battery Version), 5V 5W Solar Power Charger with 13Ft Cable- Special Made for Google Nest Cam

I have a few NEST cameras at our house. The first 2 were the wired versions - which required drilling a rather large hole in our stucco wall(the ferrite lead and plug on the USB cable is larger than the chord). To reach more areas in our back yard, and farther out front on our street, we needed the battery versions of NEST camera. The two battery cameras in our yard work for about a month between battery charges, at which point we have to take them down and plug them in overnight. We get lazy and don’t put them back up for a day or so. So that means we are without cameras for up to 3 days a month.We put another NEST battery outdoor camera up on a tree out front. Because of the increased activity out front(cars driving by, people walking, etc) the battery on that one only lasts 1 week. That is unsustainable(1 week on, 3 days off). So, I got this solar panel after reading reviews.Installation:It went up easy, just a couple screws. I tossed the little screws that came with it for my own GRK screws. It comes with a long (too long) cable, so you COULD mount it far away from the camera for better sun orientation. But, I just zip-tied the extra chord behind the panel. Some parts of the mount are plastic, so you must be careful. The entire thing is wobbly until all tightened down, mostly so you can orient it(ball joint clamped down by turning plastic collar). It holds up to the breezes we have here and hasn’t moved in 1 month. But being on a ladder with a drill/driver and trying to orient the panel is tricky. You may have to assemble everything on the ground first, screw it in, then adjust it. Definitely wish I’d bundled up the chord before getting on a ladder and trying to do it in the air.Performance:Once plugged in - it has the exact NEST chord connection - the camera immediately recognized it. The battery symbol went away and the camera reads “Solar power” in the app. Works perfect and I haven’t had to recharge it at all. Just point the panel South and tilt it to your latitude for max sun exposure. It feels like the missing piece that NEST forgot. The camera is now totally wirelesss and self contained. Amazing!

I was getting tired of always having to recharge my nest camera's battery every couple months, so I got this solar panel to add extra battery life to it. It was very easy to install, and it seems to work as expected. Just like any other solar panel, it has to be placed in an ideal spot for sunlight, but after setting it up once, I don't think I'll ever have to touch it again. Definitely recommend this if you don't want to deal with outdoor wiring.

First.. this is very easy to install and setup. My Google Nest outdoor battery camera quickly recgonized it and now states the camera is connected to solar power. I was expecting the camera to allow full time recording like my other Google Nest outdoor cameras connected to a/c power... but I was wrong. The camera must be connected to a/c power for this to work. But.. it is nice I won't have to take this camera down to charge again, unless we have a lot of low sun days. Which are few.

Bought two of these and one works but the other is useless. Tried to reposition and wait it out and now I am out of the return window. Buyer beware…

Solar is perfect for these cameras because they die so quick. But this solar panel works great and keeps it charged so I can forget about them!

Of the three that were purchased, I got one panel that would not charge the Nest Camera, which i had to do a return/exchange. The other 2 panels worked excellent. Wish I didn't have to do a return, but such is life. Other that the defective panel they appear to be of a good quality, the mount is an alloy, but the frame is plastic, which is not what the description states. I hope these will last through the ever changing weather. Did I get the correct panel?????

The media could not be loaded. These appear to work well with the Google Nest Cam 2nd Gen (Battery). Pretty easy to plug and play, so to speak. In order for it to register solar in the Google Home App after plugging it into the camera, you have to toggle the battery status a couple of times in the settings menu of the camera. Also it needs to be installed when the sun is up for it to register solar. If you install it in the evening, it may not register solar until the next morning sunrise. See attached photos and videos.

What i like about this product is that it is easy to use and easy to install

Buen producto, lo instale rápido y parece ser que está cargando al 100

Funktioniert einwandfrei und gut.

La celda no tiene la potencia para mantener cargada la cámara, además si piensas que con la celda la cámara grabará video de manera continua es un error, estoy decepcionado de haber comprado la cámara Google Nest Batery, yo compré 4 de ellas y ahora tendré que esperar para comprar otras.

Endlich. Läuft und wird von der Nest Cam mit Akku als Solarpanel erkannt. Damit läuft der Akku nicht leer wenn die Spannung wegen der Sonneneinstrahlung sinkt.

Wir haben das kleine Modul ab April an unsere camera angebracht. Von April bis Juni müssten wir unsere camera nicht einmal mehr laden! Alles war top.... Plötzlich war der Akku leer trotz super Sonnenwetter. Wir haben nun 3 x den Akku an Netz geladen und dann wieder angeschlossen an dem Solarmodul. Jedes Mal ist der Akku nach 3-5 TAGEN LEER! also zieht das Modul Energie aus der camera batterie :( ...wir wollen nun ein hochwertiges Modul kaufen.
