To install your Wyze Solar Panel:

  1. Locate where you’d like to install your Wyze Solar Panel. 
  2. Use the wall mount base and position the holes where you plan to mount the solar panel.
  3. Use a pencil to mark the holes.
  4. Align the pins on the connecting rod with the base and insert it, then tighten the locking screw cap under the base.
  5. Fix the base to your mounting location using the included screws. If the installation surface is soft or unstable, first use a Φ6.0 drill bit to drill a hole in the wall, then insert the anchor nail into the hole, and fix the base with screws.
    • For harder surfaces like wood posts, trim, etc., skip to the next step.
  6. Screw the universal joint into the back of Wyze Solar Panel, then tighten it firmly with the attached nut.
  7. On the back of the solar panel, you’ll find a winding board for excess cable. Estimate how much cable you’ll need to attach the solar panel to your camera, and coil the rest behind the board.
    • Connect the solar panel to the wall mount base by screwing the locking screw cap until it is secure.
  8. Securely insert the microUSB cable from the solar panel into the sleeve of the power adapter.
    • For Wyze Cam Outdoor, use the standard adapter that is included with the solar panel.
    • For Wyze Battery Cam Pro, you will need Wyze Solar Panel USB-C Adapter Cable (sold separately).
    • Remove the silicone cover from the charging port on your camera and insert the power adapter until secure.
  9. Mount your Wyze Cam and you’re all set to harness the power of the sun!
  10. Need to adjust the angle of your solar panel? Simple! You can adjust your solar panel up to 90° at the elbow at any time or side to side by loosening the locking screw cap. Make sure the screws are securely tightened again after adjusting the solar panel.

Mounting Tips:

  • Find an area that gets the most direct sunlight throughout the day.
  • Angle the solar panel upward 30°.
  • Point it south if you’re in the northern hemisphere and north if you’re in the southern hemisphere.
