In summary, this thing is a BEAST!
I recently got this for a stick-up cam I installed on the front of our 2-story townhouse (yes, the super solar panel DOES work with the stick-up cam). The camera is under the first-floor overhang near the front door, facing the street and the solar panel is mounted to the rain gutter at the second story (purchased the gutter mount separately here on Amazon). The cable had sufficient length for this install, with about a foot or so to spare (it measured 13 feet long and has the weatherproof right-angle barrel plug.)
I went with the super solar panel thinking that the smaller one might not be able to keep up since that camera gets a good amount of motion events all day (and even a good bit of the night). In short, I probably should have got the smaller one as it more than likely would have been sufficient since we get unobstructed sunlight all day and the panel is mounted directly south. However, I can tell from the first few days experience with this thing that it would work well for people who may have less than ideal sunlight, like more trees or cases where you can't get optimal placement of the panel.
I first installed the panel late in the evening, after it was nearly dark and camera battery was at 95%. The next morning by around 8AM, before the sun had even come up the battery was back to 100%. It stayed that way all day. The next night the battery only dropped to 99% and again as soon as the panel got some daylight it was back to 100%. From this experience I'd say it could handle just about anything, almost like the camera is plugged in and no worry about the battery running down. I have all motion settings set to their maximum levels (120 second max recording length, highest sensitively level, the entire view as a motion zone, and snapshot capture every 5 minutes).
I haven't tried the smaller one yet, but will probably get that one for the back yard camera, which gets very little motion. I'm also fairly sure the smaller one would have been more than enough for the front camera, given that we do get excellent sun exposure, but it's up there now and I figure you can never have too much power. It will probably work just fine, even if we have a series of cloudy/rainy days.
Also, for those who have questions or concerns about the type of plug this has, please see attached photo.
In general, I am extremely impressed with this product, as well as all the Ring products I have. Every one of them has been extremely high quality and they really seem to put a lot of time into their development. Everything just works and works well.
