GardePro SP300 Solar Panel for Trail Camera — 3.5W, IP65 Weather-Resistant, 6.6V DC Plug

The GardePro SP300 is a compact 3.5W solar panel made to recharge compatible GardePro trail cameras' built-in lithium batteries for reliable low- to moderate-use outdoor monitoring.

The SP300 pairs with specific GardePro trail cameras that include internal lithium batteries, offering a small-format, weather-resistant way to top up power in remote locations. With an IP65 rating and a dedicated DC output plug, it’s intended to slowly replenish a camera’s internal battery rather than run the camera continuously. This makes the panel a straightforward, lightweight option for users who want to extend time between manual battery changes without adding bulk to a tree or post.

Which cameras will the SP300 work with?

The SP300 is engineered for GardePro models that have an internal lithium battery system. It is not compatible with cameras that rely only on AA batteries or any non-GardePro battery configuration. Always check your camera model against the compatibility list before purchase.

• Compatible with many GardePro models including E6, E8, E9 series variants, A80 Pro, R3 Pro, X50/X60/X66/X70/X80 Pro models listed in documentation.
• Not suitable for AA-battery-only cameras or third-party cameras without a lithium battery input.
• Requires camera to accept a 5.5 × 2.1mm DC input and 6.6V charging profile.

How much charging power does the SP300 provide in the field?

The SP300 delivers up to 3.5 watts (6.6V at 0.53A max), which is optimized for light to moderate camera activity such as occasional triggers and daytime monitoring. Because it charges the internal lithium battery rather than powering the camera directly, charge rates will vary with sun exposure and camera usage patterns.

• Output: 6.6V and up to 0.53A for steady battery trickle-charge.
• Best for intermittent use or locations with regular sunlight; heavy trigger areas may require a larger panel like the SP1000.
• Performance depends on angle, season, and shading—full sun yields optimal recharge speed.

How durable and easy to mount is the SP300 outdoors?

The SP300 is built with weather resistance and simple mounting in mind. Its IP65 rating repels rain and dust, while the compact footprint and standard tripod thread let you attach it to trees, poles, or camera mounts without extra hardware.

• IP65-rated casing resists rain and dust for reliable outdoor use.
• Compact dimensions (6.22 × 5.28 × 0.59 inches) for low-profile installation.
• Includes a 1/4"-20 tripod base for direct mounting to common outdoor brackets and arms.

What connectors and wiring should I expect when installing?

The SP300 uses a standard 5.5 × 2.1mm DC output plug that mates with compatible GardePro camera inputs. The panel is designed to plug into the camera’s charging port to replenish its internal lithium battery—no inline converters are required for supported models.

• Includes 5.5 × 2.1mm DC output plug for direct connection to compatible cameras.
• Standard 1/4"-20 mounting thread simplifies bracket compatibility and orientation adjustments.
• Output characteristics: steady 6.6V, max 0.53A—verify camera accepts this input before use.

Who is this for: The SP300 is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, property managers, and wildlife observers who use supported GardePro trail cameras and want a lightweight, low-profile way to reduce manual battery swaps. If you operate a camera with heavy trigger frequency or need continuous video recording, consider upgrading to a higher-output solar solution such as the SP1000. For users with compatible GardePro models seeking a durable, compact charging accessory, the SP300 offers an easy-to-install, weather-resistant option to lengthen deployment intervals.
