rockspace Solar Panel can work with Camera T1, C1, and other solar-powered cameras. 

Solar Panel Installation

Place the solar panel in a position with consistent sunlight throughout the year. It only needs a few hours of direct sunlight each day to keep your camera powered.

Note: The amount of energy that the solar panel produces is affected by weather conditions, seasonal changes, geographic location, etc.

Step1. Fix the mounting base using the included screws.

If the installation surface is soft or unstable, drill a hole in the wall with a φ6.0 drill bit, then insert the anchor nail into the hole, and fix the base with screws.

  • First, install the locking screw cap into the universal joint and then screw the circular socket nut into the universal joint.
  • Screw the universal joint into the back of the solar panel. Tighten it firmly with the attached nut.
