Arlo pro 2 solar panel not charging.

To troubleshoot problems with your arlo solar panel. My arlo solar panel is not charging my arlo go or arlo pro camera battery. A fully charged battery with a power source solar panel or ac charger that s functioning will show black with a lightning bolt. At just prior to 12 noon today the two panel s started showing a charge again.

Well i guess it shows how little i know about solar panel s. Hi i have just connected my new arlo pro 2 camera and arlo solar panel vma460 up outside the camera is working okay but when i logged on before i arlo is the world s first 100 percent wireless high definition smart home security camera. I m having the same problem started at about the same time as this post with one of my arlo pro 2 cameras and an arlo security light. The arlo solar panel is meant to keep your camera charged not to charge it from low to full battery.

I never thought they would be that sensitive. For those running into this issue notice that you get a message when the camera is plugged in. The issue is not the solar panel itself. This would eem to imply tha either the panel isn t connected or doesn t have enough light on it to create a charging current.

As in weeks passed they have not work with the solar panels attached. These keep my arlo pro 2 cameras powered up all the time enabling some special features that make a great arlo pro 2 system even better. What do i do. They have drained the batteries.

Even though they had plenty of sunlight this morning i guess it wasn t direct enough. They are working when i got back to the office with the solar panels removed. Today it is raining. Unplug and reinsert both ends of the solar panel charging cable.

Cable is too short to be convenient cable is not in an easily concealable configuration it s a large diameter round wire as opposed to a flat cable. I will post in the next few days. I have went out to replace the battires in the 4 camera that have not been working with the arlo solar panels. Your camera must be plugged in to a power source to use activity zone not solar panel.

Unfortunately they all had charging faulty problems no matter how many times i disconnect and mix them up. You can try reading this article to troubleshoot when your arlo solar panel isn t charging your arlo pro 2 camera. Apparently direct sunlight is the key word. The issue is the charging cable that connects the solar panel to the camera.

To unplug the charging cable and reinsert it into the solar panel you must squeeze the sides of the plug. No warning icon to tell me there s any issue with charging just not charging on arlo products that were charging just fine for almost a year and then suddenly stopped.
