Spotlight Cam Operating Temperature Range

Question

Will the Solar Spotlight Cam survive Arizona temperatures? I want to purchase one for driveway security. I would mount it to the fascia above the garage door. My garage faces south and is in constant sunshine. In the summer, AZ air temps will hit 115\*+. I have measured surface temps on my garage door at 150\*+.

I have the same issue with direct sunlight in the summer time, surface temps are between 105 and 140 all summer. My Video doorbell has broken down twice and I think it's heat. I want to buy more RIng products, but the temperature specs listed are not good enough. I no longer trust they will last. Sadly, I will need to find another solution which will cost more money.

I can tell you that they do not work in low temps.  Ours have been offline for days, the batteries are not charging with the solar panels.  So even though the specs say -5 to 120 they cannot handle the cold.  Also they should be transmitting on their own when power or internet goes out but that too was affected by the cold, including the security system inside the house.  So all in all our system has been 'offline' for days now
