I previously purchased the Spotlight Cam (battery) with solar for my front yard and the alley behind my house a while ago. The light on Spotlight Cam on the alley (that gets the most action) stopped working and unfortunately due to a longer story than is important for this post it was not covered in the plan warranty. I ended up buying the new Ring Spotlight Cam Pro and new solar power (due to the old one not working with the new cam). I charged and loaded two batteries and was good to go.
In May either the cam was sucking more battery than normal or the solar panel was not charging enough. I chopped it up to May gloom. I charged a battery I had for one of my indoor Ring Cams and changed it out for one of the ones in my alley while I charged the second battery. All charged up and ready to go. After a bit, it seemed to suck more battery than it could restore. I turned it off for a few days and it charged back up through the sun. Now it’s doing it again.
I have lowered all the recording settings (I never had to do with my last cam) which means I am missing movement happening on that cam. I even turned the cam off from recording about a day and a half ago. It’s a nice sunny day and when I go to the battery info it has that little sun next to the battery and shows the solar panel is plugged in but the battery levels are not going up.
