5W Solar Panel for Google Nest Camera

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!

These solar panels are exactly what I needed. I use them with my Google Nest outdoor cameras and they have kept the batteries fully charged ever since I installed them. I have not had to take the cameras down once to recharge them manually, which is a huge relief. The setup was super easy. The 13 foot cable gave me enough flexibility to mount the panels where they get the most sun without having to compromise on camera placement. The build quality feels solid and weather resistant. We have had some heavy rain recently and they held up perfectly. Charging is surprisingly fast. Even on cloudy days the battery level stays healthy. It really feels like a set it and forget it solution. I check the app and the battery never drops. This two-pack is a great value and makes managing my outdoor cameras way easier. If you are tired of climbing a ladder to recharge your Nest camera, this is totally worth it.

You are better off charging your Nest Cam the old fashioned way. When the camera is plugged into this, it stops working working after a few days and has to get a hard reset. After this happened a few times, I tried unplugging the camera from this solar panel, and lo and behold, the camera works perfectly. So I thought I'll just remember to plug the solar panel in when the battery gets low. But it won't charge any higher than 67 percent. This thing is just a piece of garbage.

Bought this solar panel in order to set up video of my beehive in conjunction with a solar powered WiFi extender. I am amazed at the battery life, and the solar collection ability with overcast skies. I have had the panel system up for 36 hours and have not had an outage yet. Great product, easy to hook up to nest camera, and the price is spot on. It works great, and the size is perfect for a small area while still collecting plenty of sun.

One of them works perfect but the other one will not keep my camera charged. It keeps saying battery exhausted when its installed like like the other to get full sun.

Easy to install and significantly more affordable than the big name brand version of this. Even when partly cloudy it's been able to keep the battery level stable. Something to be aware of is that this will never fully charge your battery but it will maintain it to about 70% and provide trickle charging after that, it's as designed and it's how the Nest cameras handle all solar chargers. The build quality of the solar panel is good enough and it handles rain okay, the quality of the stand itself isn't the best but I'm not planning on moving it around a lot anyway so it's a non-issue on my side.

Absolute game changer! Bringing these cameras in every month to charge that was a hassle since they are high up, and now we don’t have to. Definitely worth the peace of mind. I’ve used them for a couple years, and had to replace one of the two I have because the connector corroded, but we live in Florida and it was left out in a hurricane (whoops). I can’t complain. It still worked for a while after the hurricane, honestly. Highly recommend.

I purchased this when I purchased two outdoor battery Nest cameras that would be located on my out-building. I didn't want to have to bring in the cameras each time they needed charged, So I was hopeful that the solar panels would be a good solution. Installing the panel was easy, with three screws it attached the mounting bracket to my building and the cord had plenty of length to reach the camera with about six feet of cord extra. As soon as I plugged the camera into the solar panel with the Nest specific plug, the app on my phone indicated that the battery was now connected to solar power. I currently have three of theses panels charging other Nest camera I have in various locations on my property. I won't hesitate to buy these solar panels if the need arises. Good product, packaged well, instructions are included, but you won't need them.

The 2-pack of Solar Panels for the Google Nest Camera (Battery Version) arrives in packaging that is practical and secure, ensuring the delicate panels and cables are well-protected during transit. Delivery was prompt, and the items arrived in perfect condition, ready to provide continuous power to your cameras. Upon unboxing, the solar panels immediately impress with their sleek, compact design. The dark, usually black, finish of the panels is unobtrusive and blends well with outdoor environments, making them discreet additions to your home's exterior. They feel surprisingly solid and well-constructed, with a sturdy frame that suggests durability and resilience against the elements. The integrated cable, at a generous 13.1 feet, is robust and feels durable, indicating it will withstand outdoor exposure. The attention to detail, like the secure connection point, adds to the overall sense of quality. The IP66 waterproof rating is evident in the sealed construction, giving confidence in their ability to endure rain, dust, and other weather conditions. These solar panels are an absolute game-changer for maintaining the continuous operation of your Google Nest Cameras, effectively eliminating the need for frequent battery recharges. I installed one panel to power my Nest Camera positioned to monitor my front garden, and the other for a camera overlooking my driveway. The 13.1-foot fast charging cable provided ample length to position the panels in optimal sunlight, even when the cameras themselves were in slightly shaded areas. The performance has been exceptional. Even on partly cloudy days, the 5W solar power charger consistently provides enough energy to keep the Nest Camera battery topped up, ensuring uninterrupted surveillance. This means no more clambering up ladders to retrieve cameras for charging, which is an immense convenience and peace of mind. The IP66 waterproof rating has held up flawlessly through various weather conditions, from heavy rain showers to windy days, with no impact on performance. The simple, secure connection to the camera is intuitive, making installation straightforward. These solar panels transform the Nest Camera experience from a battery-dependent device to a truly set-and-forget security solution, making them an invaluable accessory for outdoor (or even indoor with sufficient light) camera setups.

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.
