REVIEW & INFO

Honest review and information

As someone who relies on their Ring camera to provide security for their home, I was excited to try out the HIMS Solar Panel for Ring Camera. This product is specifically designed for the Ring Stick Up Cam Battery and Spotlight Cam Battery (2nd and 3rd generations only), as well as the Reolink Argus Pro Battery, and promises to support the camera's outdoor use without the need for frequent battery charging.

The first thing I noticed about the HIMS Solar Panel was the quality of the solar panel itself. It's clear that this product has been made with high-quality materials, including a fire-resistant construction that provides protection against over-charging, short-circuiting, high-temperature, and surges. These features gave me peace of mind about using the solar panel outdoors and leaving it unattended.

The flexible mount on the HIMS Solar Panel also stood out to me. The unique 360° wall mount is designed to ensure that the solar charger is placed in full sunshine exposure, which is essential for capturing maximum energy from the sun. The 13.1ft long cable allows for convenient placement of the solar panels, which is important because sometimes the best place for the panel may not be right next to the camera.

The installation process was straightforward, and I was impressed by how easy it was to connect the solar panel DC cable to my camera. HIMS provides clear instructions on how to mount the solar panel, and I appreciated the inclusion of the necessary screws and plastic expansion pipes. I did note that the product comes with a mounting sticker, which might work for some surfaces, but I would recommend using the screws and expansion pipes for a more secure mount.

One of the things I appreciated the most about the HIMS Solar Panel is that it removes the need for frequently charging the camera battery. Since installing the panel, I've noticed a significant increase in the time that my Ring camera is able to stay active without needing to be charged. This is a huge convenience, especially given the busy schedule of my home and my frequent need to keep an eye on things even when I'm not home.

While the HIMS Solar Panel is an excellent product, there are a few things that potential buyers should consider before making a purchase. Firstly, it's important to check your camera to see if it has a round DC jack for solar panels before committing to the product. Additionally, it's essential to pay attention to safety when installing and positioning the solar panels. Choosing a full sunshine roof point for the solar panels and placing them in the right direction of the sun will help you to get more energy from the panels.

Overall, I'm incredibly impressed by the HIMS Solar Panel for Ring Camera. This product is well-designed, easy to install, and provides a reliable source of power for my Ring camera. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to increase the functionality of their Ring or Reolink camera by eliminating the need for frequent battery charging. With its high quality construction, flexible mount, and easy installation process, the HIMS Solar Panel is a must-have for anyone looking to enhance their outdoor security camera setup.
