CONNECTING THE PANEL TO TRAIL CAMERA
- Select the correct output cable that fits your trail camera model and connect it to the camera.
- Plug the output cable to the correct output port on the solar panel. Make sure that the voltage printed next to the port corresponds to the voltage your camera uses. For Burrel cameras the voltage is either 6V or 12V depending on the camera mode (the correct voltage is printed on the bottom of the camera next to the camera input port).
- The camera will now receive power from the internal battery of the solar panel. When the battery is drained the solar panel will automatically charge it when enough of sunlight is available.
Note! Never connect the solar panel to incorrect camera input. Always refer to your cameras manual to make sure what is the correct input voltage.
