Overview
Built for hunters and wildlife observers who want a simpler way to keep a REVEAL camera powered, this solar panel adds a more streamlined charging setup and works with REVEAL cameras that use a barrel jack. When paired with a REVEAL 4.0 series camera, it also unlocks Advanced Insights, giving you visibility into battery percentage, charging state, voltage, diagnostics, and related power data. The built-in 5,000 mAh lithium battery is designed to carry the system through nighttime hours and cloudy weather, helping reduce the need for frequent site visits. It is a practical choice for remote setups where monitoring power status matters as much as maintaining charge.
