How to use MERCUSYS Solar Panel with MERCUSYS Battery Security Cameras

Step 1: Position the Solar Panel

Note: The position and tilt angle of the solar panel greatly affect the solar efficiency.

1. Choose a location where the solar panel gets the most sunlight throughout the year.

2. Position the panel south-facing in the Northern Hemisphere or north-facing in the Southern Hemisphere. The recommended tilt angle between the panel and the horizontal ground is 35° - 45°.

3. Regularly wipe the panel to remove dust and debris.

Position the panel with a 35°–45° tilt angle.

Step 2: Mount the Solar Panel

1. Drill Holes

Stick the solar panel mounting template sticker to the solid and level mounting place. Drill three holes according to the template.

Drill three 6 mm (15/64 in.) holes in the wall.

2. Mount Bracket

Insert three mounting anchors into the holes and use the mounting screws to affix the solar panel bracket over the anchors.

Step 3: Connect Solar Panel to the Camera

Connect the solar panel by inserting the connector into the camera charging port until snug.

Note: In harsh weather conditions or challenging environments (e.g., intense sunlight, high salt-alkaline areas), please wrap additional tape around the connection points of the extension cord to enhance waterproofing and protection.

Connect the solar panel to the camera via the Type C connector.
