Each kit includes two IP65-rated panels with long cables and adjustable mounts designed to fit most battery-operated cameras that accept micro USB or USB-C input. This product is ideal for locations where running power lines is impractical and for users who want a low-maintenance, weatherproof energy source for their cameras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this solar panel work with my camera?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese panels are built specifically for battery-powered security cameras that accept a micro USB or USB-C charge input.
