So I picked up 2 of these for a couple of Wyze outdoor cams (v1) that I am tired of going out and charging. They were on sale, so I figured 2 solar panels for basically 20 bucks, why not? Found a spot to mount them and had to move both once I installed the actual panel, so I could adjust it to the correct angle. The paperwork says to put them at a 30 degree angle, so keep that in mind.
Ran the cord to my Wyze cameras. A couple of reviewers have mentioned that on Wyze camera's if you use this panel, the "on/off" switch and stuff is normally covered by a silicon plug, but you cant use it with these panels. So make sure your cameras are in a water safe place. Mine are, so it wasnt a big deal for me. If you need it to be water tight, look for another panel like Wasserstein.
Also of note. The micro USB plug on the panels...it clicks into the wyze camera as it should, but it still sticks out a little. Makes your think the plug isn't in all the way, but if you feel it click in, it's good.
I plugged them in, and went into my camera settings to tell them that they were attached to solar power. Both are actively charging, and working well. For 20 bucks, I am thrilled so far. Time will tell on longevity, and charging abilities, but for now I am happy!
Edit: a week in, and all is great. My cameras show they are being charged each day, and have a full charge every time I check.
