This would be a very solid 5 star product if the mounting system was improved.
First, the great points. 5W output (many “after market” panels are only 2.5 Watts). It has the “barrel type” connection used by most of the early models of Ring cameras. The box includes adapters to micro-USB and USB-C to connect to all the newer Ring cameras (USB-C) and many other brands and models of cameras. The panel itself is study, well constructed, and not flimsy or bendable. The box even includes a masonry bit, plastic insert anchors and screws, and a small screwdriver. And a long 13 foot cord. The unit was immediately recognized and worked when plugged into a Ring Spotlight camera.
However, provided the mounting system has limited adjustability; the solar panel can only tip up and down in the bracket (and not tip at all to the left or right). The picture shows the two parts of the mounting bracket. When the wall plate is installed in a vertical orientation, the end slot where the solor panel mount inserts only allows the panel to swivel up and down. (See picture.) This would be ok only if the panel is mounted on the South side facing the sun (and could be tilted up at 30 degrees or so). However, for maximum sun exposure, when a panel is installed on the East or West sides of a house, it should be tipped slightly to the South (to directly aim at the sun). This mounting system does NOT permit this.
Even more concerning, I intended to mount this on vinyl siding using standard vinyl siding clips that slip into the seam of vinyl siding without requiring holes or damage to the siding. The previously shown picture of the vertical orientation of the wall mounting bracket would only permit a single clip in the top hole. I do not have that much confidence in a single clip. So, the bracket would need to be turned horizontally on the wall to use clips in both holes that could connect into the vinyl siding seam. (See picture.) But, then the solar panel could only be adjusted from right to left, and can’t be tilted upwards at all to face the sun. Instead the solar panel would be facing slightly downward from the house.
This mount is not usable on vinyl siding. It is acceptable only for screwing into wood or masonry on the South side of the house. It might also work during the bright summer days on the East or West side of the house. But, during the winter, when the sun is low in the South, I expect the power generation of the indirect lighting of the panel would not keep the battery charged.

I picked these up to be used with two of my Aosu cameras that we have mounted on the garage. The panels are oriented towards the southeast and only get sun before noon during the summer months so I only get a 3-7% battery boost each day. It seems to be enough to keep the cameras on a positive charge incline.
Like many of these cheaper products, only time will tell how long they last out in Mother Nature. I’ll be sure to report back if my opinions change.

Got these to power my ring cameras and they worked perfectly. The connectors are correct and it came with all the mounting brackets. I’ve installed them for a week now and so far my cameras are all showing 100% battery charge. Installation is very easy.

This unit plugs into the Ring stick-up cam and the Ring unit recognized it as a Ring solar unit so that is great. on the stick up cam there is a little rubber plug on the back and remove it and plug in the solar panel.
Recharged my battery quickly. The camera did pop up a message in the app that said it sees the unit is wired and to switch settings. Don’t do that- I think it will only work when it is getting sunlight. I switched it back to battery.

These solar panels came with everything necessary to install (aside from the cameras, which I obviously already had), and have kept my Ring outdoor charged without any issues even with interspersed cloudy days. They came with a very long (13′) cord – in the event you need to mount away from your camera’s location. Thrilled with how well these have worked, and made it possible to have my cameras where I didn’t have electricity.

It came extremely fast and well packaged. I had no issues at all installing it and I have no issues at all with it not charging. The Coeur d’Alene was plenty and I just rolled up the Excess. I have zero complaints on this product and I highly recommend it because the value that you get is amazing.

These both work just fine for me. I don’t have these mounted so I really can’t speak to how well that portion of it works. I just needed something to keep the Ring cams charged because of limited A/C capability outside.
These stay charged throughout the day. I have mine set up according to what Ring recommends for solar panels and they work perfectly.
