The very first DIY Solar Power solution for eufyCam! Wire free security camera systems are a great idea for ease of installation. But having to unmount them regularly throughout the year to recharge the battery is a hassle and can be dangerous when Winter hits. So a solar power energy source / solar charger would be the perfect solution.
*** Please see important info on Winter use in the sections below.

Important Winter Note: After using this solution for some time now we received a message from the app stating: “Unable to charge. The camera battery is unable to be charged when ambient temperature is higher than 45 °C (113 °F) or lower than 0 °C (32 °F)”.
It appears if the temperature of the batteries falls below 0 °C then it cannot be charged by the solar panel. We’re looking for a solution for this and hope to release an update video in the future. Stay tuned!
