Yes, the Outdoor Camera is compatible only with our own Solar Panel accessory. If you plug in a different solar panel, even if it uses the same USB-micro connector, the Outdoor Camera may not be able to recognize it.

My 3rd party solar panel used to charge my simplicam just fine and now it doesn't. If I roll back to a previous firmware will it work again?

Can I connect two or more solar panels to the outdoor camera either in series or parallel?

@chrishinova The Outdoor Camera can only be connected to one Solar Panel. You can learn more about installing the Solar Panel in this Help Center article.
