Clarification on adapter cord lengths and indoor/outdoor installation
I purchased a generation 3 stick up cam to use at my horse’s stable. After realizing how often I would need to recharge the battery, due to the frequency of motion of my horse and quantity of recordings, I bought a small Ring solar panel. I installed it and it worked perfectly. However, I discovered that the small panel was not sufficient to charge the battery at the level of use it was receiving in spite of the fact that it received several hours of direct sunlight. Then I realized I could simply use the power adapter. I ordered it and I am extremely happy with it.
There seems to be some confusion in other reviews as to the two different cables that are included. When you open the package, you find the 6’ long power adapter and what appears to be a 15’ extension cable with a connector on one end separate. The 6’ cable with the power adapter is designed for indoor use. If you want to use the cable outside, or simply need additional length, you can easily remove the face plate on the adapter and connect the extension cord face plate for an additional 15’ of length. The outside connector plate also includes four screw holes on the plate for securing the adapter.
I hope this helps clarify some of the confusion in the reviews.
