Does any one have a suggestion for what I can do , I need a power adapter to reach about 30feet so I can use the solar panel to charge the battery of my battery pro cam . Any suggestions on what I can do ? Thanks ! ---

Can’t you just mount the solar panel close by the camera? ---

I wish it was that easy but the area where cam is mounted doesn’t get sunlight . I’m getting tired of changing battery everything 6-8 weeks . ---

You could just purchase a 30ft Micro USB cable. However, I purchased 10ft cables for my V3 and v4 cables as I was testing some. I found that when I hooked all 3 up, the camera was not as reliable. I would assume that the distance caused some problems. 2 cables worked fine. ---

USB cables are designed to transfer power up to 15ft without drop in voltage. Anything over that distance is a crap shoot. Good quality thicker cables might be able to carry the voltage but then they might not. ---

Thanks, never really researched it as I did not need to go that far. Good to know though. Appreciate it. ---

Glad to be informative 😉 I’ve had three v3s connected with 40ft USB cable advertised to work with Wyze v3. The cameras were working but the moment you turn the microphone on and try to talk to whoever was in front of the camera, the cam would crash. Same thing when activating the siren. ---

You can try this cable, but make sure your adapter is at least 2 Amps and no more than 5Volts.
