2. How the Solar Panel Works ?
The Solar Panel works with eufyCam series security cameras. When placed in direct sunlight, it provides energy to connected eufyCams. For maximum sunlight exposure, install the Solar Panel on the roof or an exterior wall of your house.
3. Positioning the Solar Panel ?
Consider the following factors, which may affect solar panel efficiency:
- Weather conditions impact energy production levels.
- Dirt or debris on the panels can negatively affect sunlight intake.
- The amount of direct sunlight the solar panel receives.
To optimize efficiency, identify an optimal installation position on your roof or wall.
- Select a location that receives maximum sunlight throughout the year.
- Position the solar panel south-facing (Northern Hemisphere) or north-facing (Southern Hemisphere) and tilt it at a 30° angle.
- Regularly wipe/clean the solar panel to keep it free of debris and dirt.
- Keep the solar panel and eufyCam within 13 ft / 4m of each other. ?
4. Installing the Solar Panel ?️
Before installing the Solar Panel, remove your eufyCam from the wall.
- Place the mounting bracket against a wall or roof and secure it with the included screws.
- For walls or roofs made of hard materials (e.g., concrete, brick, stucco), insert anchors first.
- Anchors are not needed for wooden walls or roofs. ❌
- Screw the Solar Panel to the mounting bracket and ensure it is securely attached.
- Angle the Solar Panel on the mounting bracket to receive the maximum amount of sunlight. A 30° tilt is recommended.
5. Connecting the Solar Panel to eufyCam ?
Select the appropriate installation package for your eufyCam.
- If you own a eufyCam 1 / 2 / 2 Pro, ensure you use the screw mounting bracket, not a magnetic one.
- Use the waterproof gasket when connecting the solar panel to your camera. The gasket protects your camera from moisture and other damaging elements.
For eufyCam 1 / 2 / 2 Pro:
- Slide the waterproof gasket onto the USB connector of the Solar Panel cable.
- Plug the USB connector into the USB port of the eufyCam 1 / 2 / 2 Pro.
- Cover the waterproof bracket and screw the thread bolt into the mounting screw slot.
For eufyCam 2C / 2C Pro / eufyCam E:
- Slide the respective waterproof gasket onto the USB connector of the Solar Panel cable.
- Plug the USB connector into the USB port of the eufyCam 2C / 2C Pro / eufyCam E.
For eufyCam Solo:
- Open the eufyCam Solo's back panel and follow the arrow direction. Align the waterproof gasket for eufyCam Solo with the USB port and press to attach.
- Plug the USB connector into the USB port of eufyCam Solo.
- Screw the mounting bracket for eufyCam into the camera's mounting slot and angle the mount for the desired field of view.
- Route the extension cable along the solar panel hub to avoid tangling cables.
Note:
- Ensure the USB connector is fully plugged into the camera. ✅
- Follow the user manual for correct Solar Panel installation.
- Ensure the waterproof gasket and other accessories protect the camera connectors.
6. Setting Up the System ⚙️
- Update your eufy Security app from the App Store (iOS devices v10.2+) or Google Play (Android devices v5.0+). Ensure it's the latest version.
- Open the eufy Security app, go to Camera Settings > Device Info > Check for camera firmware to update your eufyCam firmware.
- Go to Camera Settings > Power Manager > Power Source. Tap Power Source and select Solar Panel.
You're done! Your Solar Panel is set up.
