Suggestion for an add on solar panel for game cameras?
I have a camera that works quite well just tired of swapping out batteries.
Looking for a suggestion for a universal add on solar panel.

I just ordered the Spypoint cell add on for this camera as I have been using a Spypoint camera with cell service and have been quite happy. Well once I actually registered the thing.

So for $40 figured I would try the cell add on instead for spending $100 plus for another camera.

I use the Bushnell Trophy camera 119466 and similar models. I had one set up with a 6 volt battery. A solar panel is too obvious and easily stolen.

I had 12 cameras at one time with the life being about 4 to 5 years. One had the lock broken off and the SIMS card taken.

You can get a fence charger battery at the Tractor Store for $50.

harbor freight sells several solar panels from a large ground unit to battery chargers, maybe one could be made to work.
