Solar Panel setting on WCO

Cameras
1

New Wyze cam owner. I was setting up my first WCO, and being an IT guy, I saw the option about Solar Panels and looked in there. Once you do that, you always have the option saying “Solar Panel: Installed” (my setting for charging with solar is still OFF).

Any issue having done this? First couple of days my battery drained from 100% to under 40. Seems fast for something saying months of charge capacity.

The setting in accessories > solar panel is just to enable or disable solar panel charging. You shouldn’t have to touch it, as it’s set automatically. Just make sure it’s on. During the day you should see a little lightning bolt icon next to the battery icon letting you know it’s charging.
