Charge Spotlight Cam Solar Battery with room light or LED bulbs?

Has anyone tried charging a Solar/Battery security camera using ambient lighting or LED bulb indoors? Granted, it may take longer, but will it work on the Ring solar panels when charging the batteries of a Spotlight Cam Battery or other battery-operated cameras? Does it work?

Hi @DalTxJim. The Solar Panel requires direct sunlight in order to provide a charge to your Spotlight Cam. It cannot be charged via lighting indoors from LED bulbs or from ambient lighting as that is not direct sunlight. You can find additional information on the Solar Panel for the Spotlight Cam in our Help Center article [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005279843-How-to-Install-Your-Spotlight-Cam-Solar-Panel). I hope this helps.
