How to Power Multiple Wyze Cameras via Solar Arrays

Using Multiple Solar Panels

For powering multiple Wyze Cam Outdoor or Wyze Battery Cam Pro units, the most straightforward and cost-effective method is to use one Wyze Solar Panel per camera. Each panel is designed to maintain the battery of a single camera efficiently.

Considerations for Stacking Cameras

Wyze Cam OG Stack Kit: Allows stacking two Wyze Cam OG cameras (including Telephoto 3x) for a dual-camera system, but these cameras are not compatible with the Wyze Solar Panel.
For outdoor solar power, focus on Wyze Cam Outdoor or Battery Cam Pro models, as stacking or linking OG cameras does not support solar charging.

Installation Tips for Optimal Solar Charging

1. Choose a Sunny Location: Mount the solar panel where it receives the most direct sunlight throughout the day. 2. Angle the Panel Correctly: A 30° upward tilt is recommended for optimal sun exposure. 3. Orientation: Point the panel south if you are in the northern hemisphere, or north if in the southern hemisphere. 4. Secure Mounting: Use the included wall mount base, screws, and anchors to ensure the panel stays firmly in place. 5. Cable Management: Coil any excess cable behind the winding board on the back of the panel to keep the installation tidy.

Benefits of Using Wyze Solar Panels for Outdoor Cameras

Extended Battery Life: Reduces the need to manually recharge cameras frequently.
Eco-Friendly: Harnesses renewable solar energy to power your security system.
