Solar to stick up cam

Hi Stephen, I’m not a Ring professional, just another user but maybe I can help. Technically, even though you are hooked up to solar, your device is running off the battery. The solar unit is keeping the battery charged but the actual source of power to the Ring is the battery. If you’re handy with a multimeter, you might be able to check voltage coming from the solar panel through the power cord - but I don’t have a Ring solar device, so I’m sorry that I can’t advise on that further. Does the app show amount or percent of battery remaining? If so, you should be able to tell if that charge is going up when it’s sunny and down when it’s dark. You might have already tried that, but it’s the only other thing I can think of. Best regards, Dave
