I have a first generation RING stick up cam and I have a RING solar panel hooked up to it. The solar panel affectively charges the onboard battery, however the app does not recognize the solar panel as being plugged into the device. Is there a way to remedy this issue?

My understanding is that there is an app available to troubleshoot these issues or a way to update the solar panel firmware ?

If it’s charging the device, why worry?

There is NO way to add a solar panel to the app. So long as the camera is charging your battery it’s FINE!
