Battery/Solar Floodlight cam - convert to powered

Hello All I currently have a Ring Floodlight Camera, with 2 Batteries and a Solar Panel. This works perfectly during spring/summer/autumn, but in the winter in the UK, the Solar Panel doesnt' get enough sunlight to charge the batteries. Is there any option/way that I can either convert the Floodlight Cam to be mains powered, or replace the solar panel with mains power? thanks

    Glad you asked, @TheSplodge. The Spotlight Camera Battery version is unable to be converted to plug in or wired power, outside of using the Solar Panel. There is a [hardwired kit accessory](https://en-uk.ring.com/collections/accessories/products/spotlight-cam-hardwire-converter-kit) at Ring.com, but it is to convert the [Spotlight Camera Wired](https://en-uk.ring.com/products/spotlight-cam-wired) version to a mounted and hardwired solution. For using a battery powered device during the winter, having the two batteries will help most for extending time between necessary charges. Feel free to also check out our [Community post](https://community.ring.com/t5/Ring-Device-Tips-and-How-To-s/Device-Tips-Battery-Draining-Quickly/ba-p/1136) for tips on optimising battery use. I hope this helps! :)
