Spotlight cam pro battery not offering solar option on setup
Spotlight cam pro battery not offering solar option on setup I have a battery in the cam and also a solar panel plugged in however it only gives options of hard wire or battery on setup but if I choose battery the solar panel is “ not connected” in the app. I’ve removed the cam and set up a few times now with battery and solar connections but still cannot get the cam to see it has a solar panel plugged in Tia Edit: I tried remove and add cam again as I read this ; Open the app, and go to “devices” and select “add device”- This is the important part… You need to select Spotlight cam Solar from the list, so that it installs the correct firmware during setup. There is no option to select “ spotlight cam solar “ from the list: :thinking:

Hi @Damixa. You should be prompted to scan the QR code when setting up a new device, including the Spotlight Cam Pro. Additionally, the Spotlight Cam Solar is the same as the Spotlight Cam Battery, just with a Solar Panel connected to it. We have some information and troubleshooting steps for the Solar Panel [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/10264201238292-Solar-Panel-2nd-Generation-Small-Solar-Panel-Troubleshooting) which may help. I also recommend ensuring your Ring app is fully updated, and the Solar Panel is firmly connected to the Camera. If this concern persists, and you see that the Solar Panel does not provide a trickle charge to the Camera, and it does not show as connected, please reach out to our support team at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406#callus) for further troubleshooting assistance. If you are outside of the US, please visit [here ](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-gb/articles/213608406)to see how to contact support.
