Want to install a floodlight security camera, but there’s no outlet nearby? Tired of recharging your battery-operated home security cameras? Solar power can be your answer to all this and more. Learn why easy-to-set-up, eco-friendly, cost-effective solar-powered security cameras and floodlights might be just what your home needs.
Here are some of the reasons solar power can be a great fit to power up your home security cameras and floodlights:
As long as your Arlo Solar Panel Charger has consistent access to sunlight, you can place it just about anywhere. That might mean on a rooftop far from an outlet or a pole on your property, well away from your home. If you need security coverage up high, out far, or in a tight spot, a solar-powered camera or floodlight can make it happen.
Once you’ve installed your solar-powered home security, you won’t need to manually recharge the batteries because the sun does the job for you. Collect video and light up areas – like remote corners of your property – that other sources of power can’t reach, and solar power keeps the devices running. Since you don’t need to install wiring, this might save you a lot of time, effort, and money on setup. Without needing to recharge batteries yourself, you’re saving time and effort there, too. Win-win!
Energy savings are another benefit of solar panels for your home security, which is good news for the environment and your monthly utility bill. Solar power works by directly converting the sun’s energy. From reducing water scarcity and curbing pollution to creating better health outcomes, the more we rely on clean energy sources, the better it is for all of us. Solar-powered security cameras and floodlights provide emission-free, clean energy, and they do it without ongoing electricity costs.
But what about rainy or cloudy days? Will your solar-powered home security still work? You betcha! As long as you’re using a wireless Arlo security camera or floodlight camera, you’ll enjoy 24/7 protection at night, in rainstorms, and even if there’s little sun. These devices run on high-capacity batteries that are recharged by your Solar Panel Charger. These batteries deliver months of power, and there are several ways to extend battery life even more.
Yes, it’s quick and simple to get up and running with the Arlo Solar Panel Charger. Install the adjustable mount in your preferred location, connect the included adapter, and plug it into your Arlo camera for nonstop protection. That’s it! The kit comes with an 8-foot magnetic power cable, so you can install the solar panel charger a good way from your Arlo camera, if needed. Your panel isn’t connected to the power grid, so there’s no need to tangle with additional wires, making this solar power option one of the easiest home security setups out there.
There’s no denying the benefits of solar-powered security cameras, but it might be hard to know where to start. Here are a few Arlo products that are perfect fits with the Arlo Solar Panel Charger and great places to begin.
If you’re looking for a go-to, wireless security camera, the Arlo 2nd Gen Essential XL Camera could be just what you need. It’s offered in both 2K and HD options, and with 4x more battery life than the last gen, it stays charged longer, especially in high-traffic areas. You’ll get 2-Way Audio, Color Night Vision, 130° Field of View, and an Integrated Spotlight, all of which can be easily powered by the Arlo Solar Panel Charger.
Whether you’re charging on the go or somewhere Wi-Fi just can’t reach, the Arlo Go 2 LTE/Wi-Fi Security Camera has you covered. It features 2-Way Audio, an Integrated Spotlight with Color Night Vision, and a built-in microSD card slot for local recording. This wireless security camera works off Wi-Fi or 4G LTE 1 connectivity, so your protection extends way off the grid.
Shed more light when you need it with the Arlo Wireless Floodlight security light and camera, another easy fit with the Arlo Solar Panel Charger. Protect expansive areas with this 2K security camera built right into a powerful, LED floodlight anywhere Wi-Fi can reach.
Each of these Arlo cameras comes with an Arlo Secure Plan trial, so with one tap from the Arlo app, you can dispatch fire, police, or medical responders whenever you need them. That’s just one more reason solar-powered home security is exactly what your home needs.
