I previously had 4 Stick Cameras 3rd Generation on all 2.4W Solar Panels and they would charge perfectly fine and never drop under 95%.
All of a sudden my Cameras stopped charging. On the Ring App it shows the panel is connected but doesn’t show the charging icon.
I replaced the Panel with all 5W ones, still the same problems. So I replaced it again with new Panels, and still the same problem.
I’ve done almost ever single troubleshooting step.
My Solar Panels have direct sunlight almost all day since I live in Hawaii.
None of the aim or locations changed from when it was working beforehand.
I’ve tried Rebooting & Reseting all cameras by holding the setup button for 10-20 Seconds.
RSSI is fine.
Power Mode is on Battery.
I’ve replaced the solar panel 2 times with a new one so all panels are new.
I’ve even gone as far as replacing the Camera with a brand new one and still the same problem.
I called Ring Support on the phone and they basically were no help as they told me to replace the Solar Panel for a 3rd time.
Basically have a Brand New Stick Camera and a new Solar Panel and it’s still giving me problems battery charging problems. Its NEVER done this before.
I’m to the point if I can’t find a solution soon I’m going to switch security camera brands.
