Ring Spotlight cam + solar issues
Hello, I have a ring spotlight cam battery with solar. The solar panel was working well, keeping the cam at around 80%. All of a sudden it’s dropped to 8% and isn’t topping it up anymore. The solar panel does get good exposure to sun light. Any ideas?

Hi, We have two battery’s in it and it still completely drains. Does get a a lot of motion (don’t have notifications on), but I’ve changed the settings to the lowest ones and still drains.

CHi @user237, happy to chime in here. After adjusting the settings to be lower, have you noticed any reduction in the amount of motion events your Spotlight Cam is picking up? Or is it still picking up roughly the same amount of events? If you have noticed a decrease in events but your Spotlight Cam's battery is still draining quickly, it could be either the Camera itself or the battery. You can try factory resetting the Cam by holding down the setup button for at least 20 seconds. After the reset is done, set it back up in the Ring App and monitor the battery levels to see if this helps. :)
