iTODOS3 Pack Solar Panel Works for Blink Outdoor 4 (4th Gen)/Blink Outdoor (3rd Gen) XT3 and Blink XT/XT2 Camera,11.5Ft Outdoor Power Charging Cable,Power Your Blink Camera continuously - Black

I bought these for the blink cameras that I have. After only about 4 months it appears that all of the The batteries are dead. After doing some reviews, it seems that these have an internal battery at least charge. At this time, I don’t know how long they’re going to last but the three that I got appear to be running the cameras just fine. I will probably buy a second set for the other two cameras that I got, it doesn’t say if they are lithium inside or nickel metal hydride but either way they gotta be cheaper than buying energizer lithiums. Cables are long enough and should reach more than anywhere you need in fact they may actually be too long. I wish I would’ve found them before I set up some obscure location and dangling on a ladder. I have one that’s about 25 feet off the ground and seeing the battery life, this would’ve been a better option in the beginning.

The panels themselves have a nice log cable with a Micro USB connector at the end. While advertised for use with outdoor Blink XTs, they will charge other low-power devices. Even a cellphone in a pinch.They are sturdy! The frame is aluminum and pop rivets hold joints together. The all-metal construction means they weigh a bit more. The mounting brackets are self-explanatory and once tightened down snugly, the panels do not move even in high wind conditions. (Unmoved by 38mph gusts in my installation.) Excellent product and well worth the investment.Buyers should be aware of one problem: Birds LOVE to land on these! Big birds (like an adult seagull) can cause the mounting brackets and panels to move. To combat this I suggest adding Bird-away (like Amazon part# B07QWYQRN4) and attaching with strong double-sided tape (like Amazon part# B07LFRN1K8) - I've attached a photo to show you the difference. Once the Bird-Away was added, I no longer had to reposition or clean bird waste off the panels.

I have about 10 cameras spread on 3 acres of land with a busy road next to us. Got sick of replacing batteries and grabbing my ladder going around the property once a month changing. These panels are DOPE! I’ve been able to max out the quality settings of cameras and recording time with zero power issues. Not to mention increasing night vision intensity. I threw a rock at one of the panels for the hell of it (about one inch) like a baseball and I kid you not, it didn’t crack or bust.. total accident as I tried to throw it in my woods and by some miracle it went right for the post my camera was on. Only issue is birds LOVE to poop on them… need to spike them like the other reviewer said but otherwise, they pay for themselves in the lithium batteries you’d buy in a year. Note I have most my units in 90% or more sun during daylight, not sure how well they do in mostly shaded areas.

Revised review. I’m revising this review because after my initial review the seller reached out to me and replaced the bad unit without any issues. The solar panels that I left hooked up have been working great. Customer service on this item also was great. I would recommend purchasing these if you’re tired of replacing batteries.I purchased three of these for a vacation home. Followed the instructions they all worked great for two days. After that one camera stopped working. After doing some diagnostics I found that the Solar panel is not working anymore. We had to climb back up on the roof to take it down which wasn’t easy.

Very easy to install. I like the long cord. I don’t think it will hold up in Arizona sun.

They worked. Finally, you don't have to buy batteries.

I ordered the the pack kit off solar panels for the Blink outdoor cameras. Two were good, third is missing the c connector adapter, so the solar panel is useless. Trying to contact seller or Amazon is a nightmare. Need an adapter from Amazon or seller, but can't talk to a human and robot response won't allow discussion. Very frustrating!

I bought a 3 pack of these to try with my Blink camera system. I was impressed with how well they were made. These are some solid made panels. Instructions are self explanatory and they were simple to install. I've been using these on three of my cameras and have not had any issues.FYI:Helpful install advice -Leave the panels unplugged, with the power switch OFF, in direct sunlight for a day, so the backup batteries get a good initial charge.Make sure the panels are mounted, facing South (northern hemisphere) where it can get unobstructed sunlight for most of the day.Don't forget to turn the panel ON after installing. It's easy to overlook.
